I am a National Geographic Explorer and filmmaker who has been featured in National Geographic Magazine. A passion for wildlife, cuisine, and exotic landscapes has led me across seven continents, steeping me in rich anthropological experiences that have shaped me into the storyteller I am today. After acquiring a B.S. in Biology from UNC Wilmington, I spent months in the field as a PhD research assistant working with big cats and primates in Central America. My photojournalism and videography work has been showcased on a number of Nat Geo platforms.
