Growing up on Aquidneck Island in Rhode Island, the majority of my time was spent on the water from a very young age. I taught myself to freedive and spearfish at the age of 15, and fell in love with the sport immediately. I’ve done hundreds of dives in the 8 years since, hunting striped bass and tautog in the murky waters of Newport and New England.
I studied Marine Biology at the University of Rhode Island
as a way to continue spending as much time on the water as possible. I
graduated from URI in 2015, but not before I traveled to Chile, Antarctica and
the Caribbean on research expeditions. It was on these expeditions that I
realized my affinity for photography, which is a talent I’ve practiced in
conjunction with my freediving in order to share unique perspectives of the
ocean that I love. As a self taught photographer who specializes in seascapes
and ocean photography, my work has been featured on the cover of Newport Life
Magazine and various storefronts in downtown Newport. I am now enrolled in
URI’s Graduate School of Oceanography, currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in
Oceanography, and diving whenever I possibly can!
