17 years old, born and raised in Las Vegas.

 I discovered photography during quarantine, a moment in time when I grasped for an outlet. While isolation put the whole world on pause, I felt my world collapse when my mother passed away. At 15, I gravitated towards my camera to express my mind, emotions, and ideas by empowering myself to take a creative direction in my photography. Diving into portraiture and editorial more deeply and beginning to take photos of friends and family, photography became more significant in my life. As I continue exploring my identity as a half-Latina teenager adjusting to LA, I plan to take on projects that not only benefit me but my community and the people around me. I aspire to create an impact with my photos and carry a purpose with each opportunity.
