Summary

With a versatile background in portraiture, photojournalism, forensics, public relations marketing, photo retouching, and large scale printing, I bring a unique blend of creative vision and technical expertise to any project. Known for my loyalty, independence, self-motivation, and strong work ethic, I excel in adapting to unexpected challenges and delivering high-quality results. As the former Police Photographer for the Chesapeake Police Department in Chesapeake, VA for 7 years, I demonstrated my commitment to excellence before taking a work sabbatical in November 2017 to pursue new career opportunities in a different state.
