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 the Canadian 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 and write a conversation column on threatened and endangered species and/or habitats for PhotoWILD magazine. I have also begun a collaboration with Dr. Jason Fisher from the University of Victoria to write a book that tells the story of the Boreal Forest and the challenges its faces. One of my primary focuses is on the plight of the woodland caribou, whose numbers continue to decline despite decades of conservation efforts.

My work has been recognized globally, featured in prestigious publications like BBC Wildlife, National Geographic (Espanol) and Canadian Geographic. In 2023, I was honored to be named one of the top 16 wildlife photographers in Canadaby Influencer Digest and I have beenrecognized in many major international photo contest, Yet, despite these accolades, my greatest hope is that my work tells the story of our forests and sparks a deeper connection to the natural world. 

Whether you’re hanging one of my prints in your home or joining me on a tour in the field, you’re stepping into something much bigger than a moment or a photograph, you’re becoming part of a story. A story about learning, connection, and conservation.

My prints serve as visual reminders of the fragile beauty we risk losing, but my mentorship and photo tours are where the real, hands-on learning happens. They’re where I get to do what I love most—teach. I pour my heart into helping other photographers grow their skills, find their voice, and capture images that mean something. It’s never just about the photo. It’s about helping you learn to see differently, and giving you the tools and confidence to tell your own stories through your lens.

Whether you’re just starting out or already experienced, my promise is the same: to meet you where you’re at, to support your growth with honesty and care, and to make sure you leave feeling not just inspired, but more capable than when you arrived.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’re purchasing a print, considering a tour, or following along with my conservation work, your support helps keep this mission going. Together, we can protect the Boreal Forest, uplift ethical photography, and empower the next generation of storytellers.
