As a former marine scientist and recognized National Geographic Educator, I had the privilege of exploring, educating, and photographing in remote regions of Southeast Asia while living overseas. This immersive lifestyle allowed me to fully absorb the richness of diverse cultures and regional landscapes, creating a tapestry of stories that ultimately shaped the way I see the world.
