I was expelled from high school senior year. How have I ended up here? Through a series of events. Of family lost, and gained. A loss of famiglia genial, a loss of famiglia relazione, and an acceptance of a more broad famiglia. After my expulsion, after my losses, I vowed that I would continue to pursue my passions.
In media, I’ve been a contracted photographer for VIR International Raceway for events such as IMSA, GT4, SCCA, HyperFest, and more. I travel across the country to work archaeology projects and cover various IMSA, GT4, ARA, NASA, SCCA, and various other motorsport events. My work can be found listed as one of the only two North American rally photographers featured on the international e-WRC databases here.
When I’m not shooting media, I am a full-time archaeologist based out of Mooresville, NC. I conduct cultural research land surveying, excavation, analysis, artifact photography, and more. I attended Colorado State University for my B.A. majoring in anthropology (the study of the history of humankind) with a minor in environmental sustainability.
My overall goal is to make a difference. In science, and in motorsports. To innovate with resourcefulness, and open the minds of people around me. There is room for women, POC, young people, impoverished people. If you want it, you should fight for it. There is a space for all of us. I want to portray that in my work, the range of involvement in motorsports (and archaeology), so that more can feel comfortable in joining the ranks. As time and finance allows, I want to build ideas on how we can work together to make motorsports and archaeology, alike, more environmentally friendly (without losing the fun of what motorsports are) and inclusive.
I am up for the task, and I am here to prove it.
