Ocean & Underwater Storytelling

I create ocean and underwater photo and video that helps people understand what they’re seeing, not just admire it. With a background in marine naturalist work and field biology, I document marine life and reef ecosystems in a way that is not only beautiful and engaging, but also accurate and educational.

Coral Gardeners

At Coral Gardeners in Moorea, I worked with the restoration team to create accurate, story-driven content that showed how they grow, monitor, and outplant coral, and I also joined the hands-on reef work after filming.

Prince of Whales Marine Naturalist and Guide

With Prince of Whales, I worked three seasons as a naturalist and deckhand, guiding guests through whale behaviour and identification with science-based storytelling while supporting on-water operations.

Kayak Guiding

As a sea-kayak guide on the BC coast, I lead story-driven trips that help people read the shoreline, tides, and wildlife we were immersed in.

Raja Ampat Live-aboard

I joined a team as we embarked on the Anne Bonny live-aboard boat with CalicoJack Charters. We explored above and below the waters of Raja Ampat.
