She received a Master of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, CA in 2007 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of California, Irvine, CA in 2004. She grew up dancing classical ballet as a member of a professional company, spending summers at intensive programs and participating in dance festivals around the country. While at UC Irvine, she discovered photography and left the dance world. She was encouraged to apply to CalArts, where she was mentored by the artist Allan Sekula.

Notable awards include an Emergency Grant from the Foundation of Contemporary Art in 2014 and the Dean's Reserve Fund award for the School of Art at CalArts in 2007. Press includes reviews in 2017 in the Los Angeles Times and Hyperallergic and ArtSlant, as well as The New Yorker in 2015.
