I was born in Honduras and raised in Newburgh. I spent my early years with my grandparents, who instilled in me the importance of a person’s character and their word. After coming to America, I learned quickly what responsibility meant and what it was to grow up fast. Questions of identity and belonging have stayed with me ever since.

During college, while studying Business Administration and Accounting, I found myself drawn to the world around me, often thinking about photography. After graduating, I used my graduation money to buy my first camera. Years later, stepping away from a corporate career gave me the space to fully commit to that instinct and to begin looking more closely at my surroundings.

I am self-taught, and the work of W. Eugene Smith and Daido Moriyama shaped my understanding of long-term commitment and visual language. I work primarily in black and white to reduce distraction and focus on what is essential.

My practice is grounded in observation and return. I revisit the same places, watching how people move through them and how meaning develops over time. Through this, I explore ideas of home, routine, culture, and the ongoing question of where I belong.
