I’m an Arkansas native from Horatio, a small town in southwest Arkansas.  I attended UCA where I received a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and a master’s degree in occupational therapy and have been an occupational therapist for 8 years, and 3 of those years have been at UAMS TOSH.  I have been a photographer for 10 years in Central Arkansas specializing in family photoshoots, engagements, and weddings.  Outside of work I enjoy long distance running, adventurous trips/vacations, photographing landscapes while traveling, and spending quality time with my boyfriend, cat, and my family and friends.
