I am a photographer who built a professional career producing events and fashion campaigns. I began as a photographer in the Stony Brook University School of Journalism, where I developed a strong understanding of lighting, photo composition, and narrative writing. Shortly after, I balanced my role as an Operations Assistant with a position in stage design at the campus theater. There, I learned essential lighting and staging techniques that deepened my understanding of photography and introduced me to theater stage design projects.

​

I continued in my Operations Assistant role and discovered a passion for being involved in the execution of projects from start to finish. I took a particular interest in collaborating with my supervisor to ensure events were completed on time and met customer expectations. Looking back, I realize that wasn’t my first introduction to aspects of project management—it was the moment I recognized how much I enjoyed planning, coordination, and delivering outcomes that satisfied stakeholders.​​
