Background:

​

Born and raised in New York’s Hudson Valley, I graduated from Cornell University in 2019 with a degree in Finance and a minor in Environmental and Sustainability Sciences. In January 2023, I relocated to Seattle, Washington, where I continue to explore and photograph the diverse landscapes and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has been a second home of mine over the last decade and is truly one of my favorite places on this planet. In 2026, I founded the Wild Instinct Media brand.

​

Photography has been part of my life since I was old enough to use the family camera. Over time, it became the intersection of two lifelong passions—nature and travel. Through wildlife photography, I aim not only to capture compelling moments in the natural world, but also to inspire a deeper appreciation for the biodiversity that surrounds us and the ecosystems that sustain it.

​

All images featured on this site are of truly wild, unbaited animals. Ethical wildlife photography is a core principle of my work. There is no more rewarding feeling than giving an animal the space to behave naturally, and then being quietly allowed into their world as they go about their business as if you weren’t even there. While this website is not a complete archive of my images, it represents a curated selection of the moments and stories that matter most to me.
