I wear many hats, but the most important one is being a mom to two amazing kids.

I was born and raised in Livermore. and am lucky enough to work in special education at the very same school I attended as a child—back when it was a K–2 campus before growing into the TK–5 school it is today.

My love for photography began long before I ever picked up a professional camera. Some of my favorite memories are sitting with my grandma, sorting through boxes of old photographs, and listening to the stories behind the faces and moments captured in each one.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me cheering from the sidelines at my kids’ sporting events, wandering the aisles of Target with my best friend and our girls, or curled up with a good thriller that I can’t put down.
