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.

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.
