In teaching interdisciplinary photography courses, I challenge my students to think differently about themselves and the world around them – who they are as individuals, their role in society, and the impact of the visual image in art and contemporary life. My courses explore the ability for the photograph to humanize and foster empathy, to convey cultural perspectives, and to capture movements, current issues, and historic events. We examine the still image as a powerful tool for engagement and connection between both the photographer and the viewer.

My documentary photography work examines societal change, human rights and the environment.
