“you do not need anyone’s permission to live a creative life.” -Elizabeth Gilbert

Restless energy has led me here:  an environmental photojournalism class/project, and doodles that help me focus when the world feels overwhelming.

Grit & Heart: The unconventional realm of the field scientist

In 2023 I enrolled in an online environmental photojournalism class to help me become a better storyteller with my camera. I took time off from work to go into the field with my colleagues to photograph “a day in the life of...” their work for the class final project. This project is not for any profit of my own. It is simply part of the portfolio of my work — an example of how I see the world.

I doodle. a lot.

Here are a few examples. Find more on Instagram.
