Beyond the Photos

Beyond the Photos

The things that inspire me, challenge me, and make me who I am.

A Curious Mind

I've always been fascinated by people—the stories they carry, what shapes them, and the experiences that make us who we are.


I hold a degree in Chemistry and continue to pursue further education, but my curiosity extends far beyond academics. I love meaningful conversation, exploring new ideas, traveling to unfamiliar places, and learning something new every day.


Whether I'm listening to a memoir, wandering through a rainforest, solving a crossword puzzle, or discovering a hidden coffee shop in a city I've never visited before, I'm happiest when I'm exploring.

What I'm Reading & Listening To

I have a deep appreciation for stories that reveal what makes people who they are. You'll usually find me listening to memoirs, psychology books, true crime, thrillers, romance, or the occasional science book that sends me down a rabbit hole.

Some books that have stayed with me:

A Little Life — a heartbreaking story that challenged me more than any other book I've read.

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears

Know My Name by Chanel Miller

Down the Drain by Julia Fox

The Body Keeps the Score

The Myth of Normal

Atomic Habits

For fiction, I love psychological thrillers, dark romance, and books that keep me guessing long after I've turned the final page.

The L.O.R.D.S. series by Shantel Tessier remains my favorite spicy series.
