Greetings, I've been doing travel photography on my blog FlowerofLifePaths.com for over 4 years, and you can check out more of my portfolio there. I decided to start the blog because of my career in environmental research, as well as my interest in ancient temples, spiritual cultures, and arts. I have a B.Sc in Plant Sciences, from University of California, Santa Cruz. In my professional life, I have been a forester and wildlife biologist doing work in California, Hawaii, Nevada, and Oregon. I'm currently in China studying for a Masters in Nature Conservation, and my focus is on wild felid conservation and ecology in Southwest China on the border of Myanmar. I have been based in Beijing, China for the past two years, and from here I have documented my travels throughout many of the different provinces in China, as well as different countries in Southeast Asia. I should be chosen for the scholarship with Jason Edwards because I'm passionate about doing multimedia and travel photography along with my wildlife career, and I would love to be mentored and trained in more photography skills. Peru looks absolutely incredible, and I've always wanted to go there to see the rainforest.

I've maintained the blog for over three years, and in the past year and a half have experimented with travel filmmaking.

Festival - Chinese New Year Beijing China

Chinese New Year is a traditional festival, and the most important holiday for the Chinese. I wanted to show what old Beijing looks like during the New Year. I'm trying harder to create a narrative in my travel films through voice over narrative. I went traveling alone to get most of the footage provided for this film. Mine is not a story about my amazing vacation because what I wanted to convey with this film is the deeper sense of culture underlying the festival. I have lived in Beijing now for over a year. Most of the kids I tutor in English do not even know what a parade is, which is the backbone of the large American festivals. I started making travel films when I moved to China. Winning the scholarship would mean a lot of recognition for my blog, floweroflifepaths.com, where I blog about special interests such as community, environment, sacred spaces, devotional ritual, art, food, and music. I have been working on photography, writing, and making small films as a pastime here in China, previously California and Hawaii. In my professional life I've been a wildlife biologist, web designer/administrator and would like to transition to doing more travel related media content.
