This past November I headed out to Mozambique as a volunteer geologist for the organization African Millennium Foundation (AMF) to oversee the drilling of a fresh drinking water well in support of a further community called “A Nossa Casa. While on this journey I was the courier for over a hundred glasses that were generously donated by a patron of AMF. Through the connections with a nonprofit in Mozambique called Reencontro we delivered the glasses to villagers within the community of Maluana. It was magical experiencing the simple pleasure these glasses brought to the men and women. Maluana Mozambique

Biography
I have always appreciated photography and began my journey years ago exploring and refining my eye for seeing, respecting, and capturing the beauty around me. While my path as a photographer began decades ago – it has not been a linear journey. I have looked to mentorships, workshops, and experiences to refine my talents as a photographer. I have found myself drawn to photo essays since still photography is a powerful way to translate conditions and experiences between different cultures. I am motivated to using my skills as a photographer to tell powerful stories that evokes action.
