Writer and photographer. I love using my passion for both to help bring people together. I believe in the importance of love, diversity, and democracy.
Happy New Year! May your new year be filled with love, peace, and joy. I experienced all three when I captured this scene in San Gimignano, Tuscany.

One of the ways I self-soothe whenever I feel overwhelmed by the incoming administration is to look at some of my favorite Italian photos that I captured while living there, such as this one in Stigliano, Tuscany. Heavenly.

The calm after a snowstorm in Monterosi, Italy, where I lived in an old farmhouse for three years. I fell in love with this old chestnut tree near the back of the house. Happy Holidays!

Shortly after Obama’s 2008 win, I saw this newspaper clipping in a Tuscan village. It was a time of joy and hope. Now, with the incoming administration, we face uncertainty and threats. Fear and apathy are our biggest enemies, and I refuse to give in to them. We can get through this.
