About Me

I currently work as the Director of Recruitment for a film school in NYC, where I support my travel addiction, and spend my time traveling the world to help talented artists achieve their dreams. I spend every spare minute of my "free time" exploring the world and sharing my experiences through photography and writing.

Born and raised in the U.S. in South Carolina, I moved across the country to Arizona, and then drove a bright yellow VW bug all the way back across the country to follow my dreams to my current home in New York City.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I particularly remember this moment solo-backpacking in Thailand where I was laying on the front of a boat with no guard rails and no ropes, just floating through the Gulf of Thailand. It was the point in my first solo backpacking trip that I realized I could do anything my traveling heart set its mind to. And I haven't stopped since.
