About The Photographer

I am an amateur wildlife photographer, and middle school science teacher, who loves to explore the outdoors! Whether I'm on a safari in Kenya or hiking in a local park in Virginia, I enjoy learning new photography techniques & strategies and capturing wildlife from interesting angles. As a bonus, I can incorporate my experiences and images right into my science classroom during our ecology units!
