I love to share my experience and knowledge of photography and the powerful effect it can have in people's lives through workshops, global tours, speaking and media engagements.

I began my journey in photography assisting at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, and consequently have spent hundreds of hours in the most inspirational educational environments, learning from some of photography's great modern masters, including Macduff Everton, Joe McNally and Jay Maisel.

With an extensive background in theatre, music and television, I am extremely comfortable on-screen and on-stage. I studied for many years with the Ottawa School of Speech and Drama, affiliated with the National Arts Centre, and have been awarded a Performer's Certificate from the Trinity College of London.

I have been fortunate to help manage events with the National Geographic Traveler Seminars across North America, and have led fantastic travel and photography destination tours with Sacred Earth Journeys, our last tour having been to the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan.

Please email me for bookings.
