"I’ve been a professional photographer for over a decade, specializing in high-end retail, e-commerce, and editorial photography. I hold a Diploma of Professional Photography from the New England School of Photography, with hands-on training in digital imaging, studio lighting, post-production, and workflow management. I also completed two years of undergraduate study in 20th Century American Literature and Fine Art Photography, which strengthened my creative approach and visual storytelling. I use Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Capture One daily to produce polished images for clients including Free People, Victoria’s Secret, Reebok, and Macy’s.

I have experience teaching in both classroom and one-on-one settings. As a teaching assistant at the New England School of Photography, I co-led courses on digital workflow, studio lighting, and multimedia presentations, giving hands-on critiques. I also designed and taught a beginner black-and-white photography course for campers aged 7–15, emphasizing composition, camera fundamentals, and creative exploration. These experiences taught me how to adapt lessons to different skill levels and learning styles.

When tutoring Photoshop, Lightroom, or photography, I focus on practical, project-based learning that builds both technical skill and creative confidence. I guide students through professional workflows, retouching techniques, and image editing, while showing how each tool fits into the larger process of creating high-quality images. Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, combining hands-on exercises with real-world insight, so learners not only master the software but understand how to apply these skills professionally." less...
