I currently live at my home in Selkirk, NY, where I've lived all my life. I live with my parents, Beth and Chris, and my younger sister Jen. I attended Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk High School and was involved in many clubs during senior year. 

​

During that time I joined the yearbook club, Student Government, was a staff writer, photographer and layout editor for the school newspaper, was the lighting engineer for the school play, and had many other photo "gigs" during school, including sports and school dances.

After high school I moved on to Hudson Valley Community College and received a degree in liberal arts. I graduated one semester early and began attending UAlbany, where I am currently studying to receive a degree in journalism. 

When I'm not in school, doing homework, enjoying the weather or at my summer job painting apartments, I can often be found volunteering my time on the fireground, taking photos of fires, accidents, hazardous conditions, and anywhere else the calls take me.  

​

Since I live in Selkirk, I cover Selkirk and all other departments in the Town of Bethlehem, however, I am the department photographer for the New Baltimore Fire Department, so I also cover portions of Albany and Greene Counties. 

​

Aside from taking the photos for the fire department, I often have some of the photos published in several media outlets, as well as some articles I write about recent calls I've been to.
