From operating room nurse to operating a camera
I worked in hospitals as a Registered Nurse (BSN) on medical-surgical units and in the operating room, bringing me to Tucson from Canada.
It was a world of continuous learning, challenges, and professional development, and I enjoyed every moment.
After embarking on the vegan lifestyle, I took a three-month online plant-based cooking course. The course required me to submit many photos of my kitchen creations as part of the assignments.
I was not entirely happy with the pictures I took in my kitchen under a skylight with my phone or camera - they didn't look like those in my favorite food magazines!
That's when my passion for food photography began. After learning to operate my DSLR camera in manual mode, I took several courses on food photography, composition, and editing. The learning always continues.
Since then, I'm honored to have won several food photography awards and have given a food photography workshop on the technical aspects of photography to local high school students in Tucson, Arizona, through the Joint Education Technical District.
