For over two decades, I dedicated my life to educating others, sharing knowledge, and fostering growth in the classroom. Teaching has been a profound and fulfilling part of my life, but my heart has always been drawn to the solitude, tranquility, and beauty of the great outdoors. I am an educator by profession, but a wildlife photographer by choice.Nature has become my true classroom. Every time I step outside, I discover something new—a call I’ve never heard before, a behavior I’ve never seen, an interaction that reveals a hidden world.

The Boreal Forest, the last great forest on earth, has captured my soul. It’s a place where time slows down, where the rhythms of nature take over, and where I feel a deep connection to something far greater than myself. It’s a world that gives me hope, and it’s a world I feel compelled to share through my photography.My passion for the Boreal Forest goes beyond just capturing its beauty. I’m deeply committed to conservation and responsible stewardship. Through my lens, I strive to tell the stories of the wildlife that inhabit this vast and rugged wilderness, highlighting their struggles and triumphs as they navigate the harsh extremes of the Canadian seasons. My goal is to give a voice to the often overlooked and voiceless creatures of the northern forest, bringing their vulnerability into the light to inspire meaningful change.

To further this mission, I became a photography team member of theCanadian Conservation Photographers Collective. This group of dedicated photographers from across Canada works to promote conservation and science education through powerful, thought-provoking visual content. Together, we aim to bring conservation issues to the forefront, reaching, informing, and engaging a wider audience. I also donate my work to various organizations to support important causes, such as 100 for the Ocean. One of my primary focuses is on the challenges faced by the woodland caribou, whose numbers continue to decline despite decades of conservation efforts.
