Photographer | Photo Editor & Retoucher | Multidisciplinary Visual Artist


As an image professional, my practice spans photography, retouching, visual arts, and curation. My work is defined by a multicultural perspective, driven by critical inquiry and a curiosity to examine histories of migration, diasporic connections, and cultural frameworks through personal archives and lived experience.

With a deep understanding of global visual literacy, I strive to bridge communication by decoding visual languages and critically analyzing cultural contexts. I am a graduate of the Visual Critical Studies program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, and I also completed studies in the Earth & Environmental Sciences Master's program at CUNY.
