California Conservation Corps

As a public information officer, I use photography to amplify the stories of young adults enrolled in the California Conservation Corps' workforce development programs - training for careers in forestry, firefighting, fisheries, habitat restoration, emergency response, and other environmental fields!

Featured Story: LA Watershed Protection

In the wake of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, harmful pollutants from burned vehicles and homes posed a serious risk to the local water supply. As a public information officer, I was dispatched to the emergency where I documented CCC Corpsmembers taking swift action, installing compost socks to safeguard local waterways.

Brazil, ALTO Artist in Residence

Alongside sculptor (and sister), Six Hotchkiss, I participated in a month-long artist residency program located in the heart of Brazil's Cerrado - one of the world's 36 biodiversity hotspots. Together we used this time to reflect, create, and connect to the local environment.

Floating on a small boat, we photographed this jaguar for hours. After checking us out, she made herself comfortable in a tree.

Tanzania, Youth Photography Expedition

With guidance from Girls Who Click mentor, Karine Aigner, I refined my nature photography skills while visiting Tanzania's Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks. During this adventure, I was joined by several young women looking to pursue conservation photography careers. I used a long lens (100-400) for the first time during this adventure!
