My wonderful host family in Monteverde, Costa Rica! Yolda, my host Mom, would wake me up at 5:30 am to the sounds of her cell phone music. She taught me how to make homemade tortillas and traditional Costa Rican food. I liked them so much, I've decided to stay with them again in December!

Dinner? Maybe...

Yolda greeting me after a day at the study center!

Naomi loves the camera, and well I, love taking photos...so every night after dinner she insisted on a photo shoot! Here she is jumping and spinning all over the house!

I am a painter, collage artist, and travel photographer. I've always been interested in learning about far lands and different cultures, I vividly remember flipping through my Grandmother's coffee table book that featured photos of children around the world - sparking my interest to explore and embrace adventure. I read travel magazines religiously and love seeing the world through my camera.

Born and raised in Detroit, I studied at the University of Michigan, spending my free time photographing for the Michigan Daily Newspaper and traveling to East Africa during the summers to document public health issues. I spent the academic year living in Malaga, Spain on the CIEE Teach Abroad program where I enjoyed jamon, beautiful beaches, and the laid back Spanish culture. With this summer internship, CIEE is opening a world of dreams, the beginning to an unforgettable journey!
