I am a full time photography teacher and part time photographer looking to take advantage of my time off and travel more. I kind of have this obsession with seeing as much of the US as possible. I have lived in Miami my whole life and although I don't really like it here I cannot imagine living anywhere else (hence wanting to travel more). Home is with my boyfriend, our cat (which I am allergic to), our two dogs, and our never-ending list of DIY projects. I love doing things myself, I guess I'm kind of "handy." I also love the outdoors, although Miami is way too hot and flat most of the year to really enjoy it. Teaching is my day job, it takes a lot out of me. Photography is my passion, it keeps me sane. Lastly, it takes me a little time to warm up to people, but once I connect with someone, it's pretty awesome :)

Went on a two week camping trip alone :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a photography and film teacher as well as a painter and drawer, and I am more than happy to share any tips or discuss photography, films, and art.

I am also a life long learner. I love learning new things :)

Hopefully some good laughs and good times. I can also offer some portraits if I bring my camera :)
