Photography
I’ve always loved documenting the world around me, especially while travelling and spending time outdoors. After studying photography in college, I learned how to apply my image-making skills to branding and communications. I have several years of experience doing photography with professional-grade equipment, and editing photos to create a cohesive visual aesthetic.
As Communications Outreach Specialist with the Minnesota DNR, I saw a need within the program for better imagery for use on social media and promotional materials. I dedicated myself to photographing sites, stock images, events, and more to help build a quality visual brand for the Minnesota Scientific and Natural Areas Program.

Video Interviews: Prairie Conservation in Minnesota
In 2024, I assisted in hosting video interviews with owners of remnant prairie habitat in Minnesota in collaboration with Scientific and Natural Areas program staff and MnDNR videographers. This was an exciting opportunity to learn more about prairies and private conservation efforts – but also a chance to build community among individuals and organizations dedicated to habitat conservation.
Promotional Social Media Video: The Oregon Extension
The Oregon Extension is an off-campus college program dedicated to sustainability studies, independent research, and community building. Situated outside of a national monument in the forests of Southern Oregon, this experience changed my life when I studied there. When I returned to work for the organization for a few months, I wanted to give back to the program that I loved. I created this video for social media use by interviewing current students, recording my own music, and using various camera and editing techniques to create a lush and outdoorsy vibe that will encourage future students to apply.
