Professional Photography
Primarily self-taught, I photograph events, executive headshots, family portraits, food, cars, and sports. I serve over 50 clients in the Northeast. I've worked with car dealerships, hair stylists, models, corporate clients, non-profits, and families to create custom visuals that leave a lasting impact. I'm trusted to capture once-in-a-lifetime events such as weddings, concerts, and milestone birthdays as if they were my own. I have also donated my services to numerous community non-profits, including the Annual Paine to Pain Half-Marathon and Hearts and Homes for Refugees.
Untapped New York Internship
I interned for Untapped New York, a digital publication with over 18 million page views per year, covering culture, history, and art within the metro area. While unearthing New York City’s secrets and hidden gems, I worked to sharpen my prose, initiate research as an investigative journalist, conduct interviews, and learn the logistics of operating a publication.
Real Estate Drone Photography
As a certified drone pilot, I've photographed and filmed over a dozen houses and properties by drone, creating powerful imagery for real estate listings, stitching orthographic projections for construction, inspecting facades and building conditions, and providing overhead monitoring.
High School President
I was the first-ever junior to serve as president of New Rochelle High School, representing over 3,400 diverse students. I ran a technologically savvy campaign, using QR codes (which have since been adopted by dozens of other clubs), an AI-based email campaign, and link-tracking software to monitor my efforts live.
After winning, I handled student quality-of-life issues, improved parent-teacher-student-administration communications, and pushed for increased student safety. I planned a student carnival, teacher breakfast, color run, and family night. I advised on opening additional student study areas and increasing the number of parking spaces. I served alongside administration, teachers, and outspoken community members on a committee to select my high school's two vice-principals.
Despite the challenges imposed by a hurricane, Covid, a student murder, and a televised school sexual assault protest, I helped secure capital improvements for the school and met with local leaders, including Superintendent Jonathan Raymond and Congressman Jamaal Bowman. I also published a weekly newsletter, updating students on current events in our district.
Boat Captain, Lifeguard, and Counselor
I worked simultaneously as a boat driver, beach lifeguard, and camp counselor on the Long Island Sound the past two past summers. I took young campers for boat rides, banana boating, tubing, and 'couching,' and taught water skiing to older campers. Despite working in some of the busiest and rockiest areas of the Long Island Sound, I provided an amazing, safe, and memorable nautical experience for all aboard.
Sports Photography - Sports Central
I've photographed hundreds of student-athletes spanning dozens of sporting events for New Rochelle High School. My photos are viewed over one million times per year. As VP and photographer of Sports Central, New Rochelle High School's independent digital sports publication, I increased audience engagement by 22% and 30% year-over-year across our Instagram platform.
Website Design
I design powerful and user-friendly websites for local small businesses, non-profits, and a variety of professionals, including best-selling authors, doctors, Emmy-winning screenwriters, and business executives. My clients entrust me with creating the most wide-reaching embodiment of their brand. I work to provide a stunning digital presence to match my clients' already impressive physical platforms and expertise.
School Zone Speeding Research
Working with the New Rochelle Police Department, I conducted a six-month study on speeding in school zones, focusing on the types of cars that do it. We surveyed three different schools and recorded over 350 samples while monitoring from unmarked police vehicles and using LiDAR measuring tools. The study's results concluded that 96% of vehicles were speeding, traveling an average of 140% of the posted limit. The findings were presented to the mayor, city traffic engineer, and school district leaders.
Commercial 3D Printing
Utilizing CAD software and a number of 3D printers, I design and produce bespoke pieces of art. Printed dozens of centerpiece decorations, cosplay pieces, car parts, phone accessories, and other hard-to-find parts for clients all over the Northeast.
Media Car Mount
I researched, engineered, and produced a custom camera mount to help with high-speed filming. Stable at speeds in excess of 85 MPH, the rig is remote-controlled, three-axis stabilized, and able to rotate 45 degrees on the Y and Z axes. The device fits a niche market and can be produced for 15% of the price of market competitors. While still a prototype, patent options are being explored.
Custom Built PCs
I create custom PCs for clients who need personal attention for their technological needs. I utilize the latest parts from AMD, Asus, EVGA, G.Skill, Intel, MSI, Nvidia, and WD to create computers capable of handling the advanced level of rendering and virtualization software that my clients use.
Passion Photography
Photography is just as much a hobby for me as it is a business. I enjoy photographing, both handheld and by drone, nature, animals, landscapes, close-up macros of food, and street life throughout the Northeast.
