She is a four-time finalist for Popular Photography magazine’s “Your Best Shot” competition, and a finalist in the World Wildlife Fund’s, “Life Grows On” competition, and is represented by Getty Images.

She also teaches photography in Mamaroneck and participated in the Larchmont Historical Society‘s “Day in the Life of Larchmont” exhibit, in Larchmont. She is a member of the Mamaroneck Artists’ Guild and the Southern Vermont Arts Center and has been a Larchmont resident for just over five years.
