I am a wildlife and nature conservation photographer and writer from Hampton, Virginia. My main focus is photographing the biodiversity in Virginia. I use my conservation photography storytelling to inspire and educate others about the beauty of the natural world. I am an advocate for the protection of our environment and wildlife. Currently, I am working on habitat connectivity in Virginia. Also. volunteer as a communications team member with a non-profit organization. In addition, I have created a conservation photography project in my backyard called Butterfly Habitat Oasis Project to help provide a Monarch Waystation butterfly garden in my backyard to help the population of monarch butterflies. I provide awareness for the declining Monarch butterflies as well as other butterflies or pollinators. I document and photograph the pollinators in my habitat oasis. I use my butterfly project images to educate people. I also advocate for these pollinators and the need for more habitats. I raise awareness and educate people about the need for pollinator habitats. I do this by working with local community organizations and sharing information through my blog and newsletter. Furthermore, I am a Co-founder of the website and blog, Responsible Photography Collective. This website and blog focuses on advocating, bringing awareness and practicing responsible photography for all genres of photography,
