After earning my MA in Spanish literature from the University of Virginia, I did a little job-hopping before finally landing at Crutchfield in 2010. I spent five years as an Advisor in our Spanish/International department making gear recommendations to customers from all over the world. Back when I first started, I had a nagging obsession with my cellphone camera, which blew up into a full-fledged photography habit after Crutchfield's extensive sales training let me get hands-on with a DSLR for the first time.
Aside from my dog and four cats, my favorite subjects to photograph include wildlife, nature, and the Milky Way - or anything that glows in the dark, really. I'm shy with human subjects but I love doing portraits too. I joined the Crutchfield writing team in 2015, and have been happily writing about cameras and awesome audio gear ever since.
