Her other awards include: the 13th prize from The 2017 Photo Review International Competition for a show at Gallery 1401 in Philadelphia, an honorable mention in the 2017 Monochrome Awards, a finalist in five categories of the 7th Pollux Awards and participation in the 2016 4th Biennial of Fine Art and Documentary Photography in Berlin, Germany, the 2015 and 2018 Open Lens juried exhibit at DaVinci Art Alliance in Philadephia, and 2015 Fotofoto Gallery juried exhibit in Huntington, NY.

Her previous documentary work includes: the work of a ballerina teaching dance in an Alzheimer’s unit, a slideshow depicting the community living and working in Philadelphia’s Chinatown at Asian Arts Initiative in 2012, and the documentation of two dance projects in Rwanda for Rebecca Davis Dance Company in 2011 for a website that would serve to raise scholarship money for street children.

Her previous experience as a dancer and choreographer informs her appreciation for movement and her years of experience teaching have deepened her connection to people.
