My journey as a nonprofit photographer began while working with Scripture Union Peru’s homes for abandoned street boys in Peru five years ago, right after deciding to start my photography business. From there to Catholic Charities of Oregon’s services for people experiencing houselessness and for people migrating to be with their families, I realized more and more that there is a distinct power and dignity behind this imagery and stories it tells. As the lead photographer at Medical Teams International, I've had the honor of capturing brand imagery and stories of the amazing work our global staff are doing - bringing access to health care to people who need it.
