About

I’m a professional photographer with a diverse background and a passion for capturing the world around me. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, I grew up surrounded by a mix of cultures that influenced my art. 

My love for the service lead me to enlist in the United States Coast Guard, where I served as an active duty member and later serve as part of the USCG reserve. My leadership, communication, and teamwork skills played a significant role in my success in the military. It was during this time that I was introduced to photography, which quickly became my passion. Mentored by renowned Puerto Rican fashion photographer Luis Velez, who recognized my potential, offered me the opportunity to work as his assistant. This experience inspired my move to California to attend and graduate from Brooks Institute of Photography.

Since then, I have been building a successful career in the photography industry, working on a variety of magazine covers, fashion editorials, and more. Dedication, talent, and unique perspective have earned the recognition from Brooks Institute of Photography, where I won the Lower Division Student Award and the Graduate Special Recognition Award.
