"With a BA in art from Millersville University and an MFA in documentary photography from the Academy of Art University, my educational journey has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of photography. Since 2009, I've immersed myself in teaching within the university setting, specializing in all aspects of photography. My teaching experience spans from traditional darkroom techniques to advanced digital processes, studio lighting and photojournalism.

In my years of teaching, I've engaged with a diverse range of students, from eager undergraduates to seasoned professionals seeking to refine their craft. I've had the privilege of guiding aspiring photographers through their creative journeys, fostering a learning environment that encourages experimentation, critical thinking, and self-expression. Whether it's a one-on-one session or a classroom setting, my approach emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing students to actively explore and refine their skills under my guidance.

Beyond the confines of the classroom, my extensive experience as a professional photographer has enriched my teaching philosophy. My work has taken me across the globe, exposing me to a myriad of cultures and perspectives. This diverse background informs my teaching style, ensuring that I not only impart technical expertise but also nurture a deep appreciation for the cultural and social dimensions of photography. Through exhibitions, publications, and collaborations with renowned outlets, I've honed my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively, making the learning process both engaging and enriching for my students." less...
