I'm a down-to-earth sort of gal who enjoys taking photographs as a career and as an interest, with the additional pursuit of getting a place at the Royal College of Arts to join the PhD program to apply my photography to mental health. My employment history also involves teaching photography to all age levels, both in groups and individually, from basic to advanced levels. Aside from photography, right now I am in the process of upgrading/revamping my apartment with new or custom-made items to make it more of a home. I enjoy creating things like painting, pottery, jewelry making, crochet, DIY, cooking, drawing, welding, and engraving. Believe me, I have done a lot and am still going on.
