Bwindi, Uganda
From a young age, my heart has been firmly rooted in a profound love for wildlife and the natural world. From watching nature documentaries, studying abroad for a semester in Tanzania, to obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Biology, I strived to build a life centered around wildlife. For the past 15 years, I've also dedicated my life to nurturing and safeguarding animals that can no longer live a wild life; turning my passion into a fulfilling career. Yet, alongside this lifelong dedication, there has always been another flame burning within me, photography. I've been fortunate to have traveled all over the world and photography has provided me with a medium through which I can share the beauty and fragility of the remaining wild we have. Through my lens, I hope to ignite a sense of wonder and urgency, inspiring others to join the crucial effort to protect and preserve wildlife and their habitats worldwide. Even more so, I'm thrilled to be able to lead adventures in Tanzania and across Africa to help foster a deeper connection to these wild areas.
