I am a recent graduate of Ohio University's School of Visual Communication with a degree in photojournalism and minor in environmental geography. I’m from the small, Appalachian village of Rarden in Southern Ohio. I have grown up in the hills, more often barefooted than not, and developed a deep appreciation and love for our earth. The focus of my work is to help the environment and its people by giving voice to stories happening now, and those passed down within communities.
