My Story

In 2012, I began studying photojournalism at Biola University, with a calling to shine God's light in the midst of darkness. Through a semester abroad in New Zealand, I was introduced to the field of sustainable community development, taught by a former missionary to a slum in Manila. This class ignited a dream to document God's work through poverty alleviation. In 2016, I received my photojournalism degree and traveled to Cambodia as an intern with Samaritan’s Purse. There, I documented stories of rural villagers being released from poverty in Jesus’ name, with an overwhelming sense that I was doing just what God had made me to do. In 2016, I returned to Biola as a master's student in intercultural studies, taking classes in missiology, anthropology, and international community development. I completed my degree in 2017. Since 2018, I have worked with Fuller Seminary and The Fuller Foundation, using photography, videography, and graphic design to communicate God's work of forming Christian leaders for kingdom vocations.

The heart of my work is to shine God's light in darkness by telling stories of hope. I want people to see how God's love and resurrection power can break the bondage and chains of darkness. I have a special passion for documenting stories of international community development, while also seeking to document God's work in other facets of life. My prayer is that God would establish the work of my hands, in Jesus' name.
