About

Thank you for visiting my website. It is a selection of photographs I took on my journeys to 7 continents and over 140 countries. At the age of nineteen, I first traveled around the world by myself, staying in Asia, Africa, and Latin America months at a time. 

After majoring in photography at an art college in San Francisco, I studied Anthropology and Psychology. I graduated with a degree in Anthropology from the University of California (UCLA) and received a Master of Science degree in Psychological Science from the University of Limerick, Ireland.

In my early twenties, I went to remote parts of Yemen, Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Syria, and Mali. Apart from Afghanistan, these countries were still at peace. When I took photos in Central Afghanistan, the province of Bamiyan was peaceful and under the leadership of Habiba Sarābi, the first female governor in Afghanistan. She advanced women’s rights and environmental issues before being forced into exile in 2021. I hope the photos show a glimpse of a better time, a time of peace, human and animal rights.
