I hold a graduate degree in nuclear physics from the University of British Columbia and have collaborated with various scientific institutions such as the National Institute for Nuclear Research in Mexico, National University (UNAM) Institute of Physics, TRIUMF Canada’s Particle Accelerator Center and the Large Hadron Collider LHC in Geneva, Switzerland.

Parallel to my scientific training, I entered the world of photography starting self-taught and then as first assistant to various photographers such as Vince Hemingson and production companies in Vancouver and New York.
