I earned a Bachelor of Arts in graphic design, and a second Bachelor of Arts in Photography, both from CSU Sacramento in 2001. While in college, I was a staff photographer to the Hornet Newspaper at CSUS, and my photography has appeared in Heaven’s Metal magazine, The Placerville Reporter, and other local publications. I have worked full time as a graphic designer as well as operating a graphic design business. I have been a past board member of Professional Photographers of Sacramento Valley, receiving the 2010 Presidential Award for Outstanding Service, former member of Professional Photographers of America, and have served as the official photographer for the Jimmy Doolittle Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to historic aviation.
