• I did not NOT grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer *gasp*
• I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands when I was 16 or 17
• Eventually I stopped photographing those shows as I started transitioning this to be my main job because I didn’t want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving
• Being apart of that music community helped me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities.

• I am CPR/AED Certified (everyone should take classes even if you don’t plan on keeping certifications!)
• Because of my name, many people ask my ethnicity/background: I’m Puerto Rican
• I’m a First generation college graduate

• I’m an Animal Lover, sometimes amateur bird enthusiast, and vegan
