I have my BFA from Edinboro University, where i studied Applied Media Arts & Photography. I was fortunate enough to have worked in the Professional Photography Industry my entire career. I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America and dedicated #nikon user. I have photographed people, plants, animals, amazing things and created Art from across the United States, Costa Rica, Mexico and Canada.

​

In 2013, something changed. I did not know I had been battling Lyme Disease for over a decade. Eventually, I became bedridden from Lyme Disease, mold illness and other chronic illnesses, and had to scale down my Special Event Photography Company, Clicks for a Cause, due to the debilitating symptoms. After finding Functional Medicine, herbal protocols, and Functional Nutrition I healed and was I making a comeback.

​

Unfortunately, during Covid, I got a new Tick Bite and Lyme Infection and had limitations on my treatment. Clicks for a Cause, was labeled non-essential and forced to close. I had two years of work cancelled and was forced to close in 2021.

​

Throughout both of my Lyme battles, I needed fresh air, light movement, sunshine, and something I loved to do so I took up gardening. Being closed off from the outside world, I found new life and magic in my backyard every day! It seemed as if everything was being taken from me, but I was growing my own flowers, and photographing in my own studio and creating Artwork online to sell and it was therapeutic.
