I’m a Canadian-born photographer who spends her time between homes near Toronto, Canada and Cape Town, South Africa. I’ve had a passion for photography since I picked up my first Nikon as a small child. Fast forward to today, and I’m using that passion to enable change in my community and throughout the world. Ever since I started diving with sharks back in 2015, I have been ruthlessly fighting to engage the general public on the significance of sharks and the ocean as a whole. I want to utilize my skills in photography to convey the beauty and emotion that sits just behind the eyes of every animal I encounter.
