A former technology, marketing and business development professional specializing in electro-optics and communications systems, she is now a full-time photographer and writer, covering local, national, and international venues. She has been an avid photographer since the age of 8, and has won numerous awards for her underwater photography.

Her passions for sailing, scuba diving, hiking, photography, travel, and story telling have taken her to many extraordinary destinations.
