As a kid you dreamed of becoming… I wanted to be so many things! But being a photographer was the one that stuck with me.

Best career advice you’ve received: Always work with people who are good at what they do, but are also good people as well

Biggest role model: I’ve had the good fortune to be surrounded by so many incredible women who have influenced me but the most accomplished and admirable woman I know is my grandmother

When not writing for ROOM: I like to get moving by going for walks or roller skating
