As of April 2012, I am a graduate student at the University of Alberta majoring in Communication and Technology undertaking communication research projects. My educational background includes a BAA majoring in Image Arts from Ryerson University, as well as post undergraduate courses focusing on Environmental and Occupational Health through the University of Victoria. In my early career I was a teaching assistant at Ryerson, I created short experimental films that were featured in film festivals, and taught film animation to youth. More recently my work has been focused on documentary style photography.

From 2003 to 2010 I documented killer whales and marine life of the pacific coast. Over the past couple of years, my killer whale documentation consisting of photos and video have appeared on the front lines of various main stream media and have been integrated into global conservation initiatives. My work is sighted on TV, in documentaries, in books, in university research projects, and on the internet.  For details see my portfolio.

I consider myself an innovator of change who explores the world in hopes of better understanding the topics I am passionate about. For this reason, I have worked with some very interesting projects. I have spent 10 years working as a designer, project manager, photographer and videographer. In addition I have spent the last 10 years working as an entrepreneur and have recently been involved the Victoria Business Centre where I was a Fire Starter. From there I launched a partnership business called Startup Online with my finance and am currently implementing this in Toronto.

In 2011 I created a new project called Lunar Maria Jewellery. As a child rock hound and whale lover, my dreams of life have been filled with the natural wonders, exploration and discovery. I am now refocusing on designing a unique hand-made jewellery line inspired by my work with nature.
