As a photographer, I am passionate about capturing and preserving fleeting moments. Whether it be landscape, wildlife, or street photography, I find beauty in the impermanence of what surrounds us. Each frame I shoot is an attempt to freeze time and communicate an emotion, a feeling, or a glimpse into a world that might otherwise pass by unnoticed.&nbsp;This desire to hold onto moments that quickly fade has deepened my appreciation for the stillness photography offers. I create photographs because I believe there is power in quiet observation. Photography allows me to slow things down and notice the subtle details of life, and through my lens, I aim to share that perspective with others. This practice has taught me to value both sweeping scenic views and the intimate moments hidden in everyday life.&nbsp;Ultimately, my work aims to create a space for reflection. In a world where everything moves quickly, photography serves as a tool for remembering, understanding, and connecting. By documenting these moments, I hope to evoke feelings of nostalgia, curiosity, or wonder in the viewer. I want my work to inspire others to slow down, look more closely, and discover the beauty in the details that often go unnoticed in everyday life.&nbsp;Galleries and Exhibitions:2025 - Art and Design Senior Show: Untitledjuried exhibition, rueff galleries, Purdue University2025 - Art and Design Undergraduate Exhibitionjuried exhibition, ringel gallery, Purdue University2025 - Nursing Center for Family Health Student Art Exhibitionjuried and curated exhibition, lyles-porter hall, Purdue University2024 - Click Photography Club Juried Showjuried exhibition, rueff galleries, Purdue University2021 - Putney Student Travel National Geographic Photography Workshop Gallerygroup exhibition, Bozeman, Montana,Contests:2025 The Purdue Naturalist Photo Composition: 1st place
