Happy World Wildlife Day! 🐕 A huge part of my life has been spent chasing wildlife encounters across the planet—witnessing moments few get to see and just being in awe of the wild. It’s a privilege I never take for granted, and every encounter is a reminder of how much we still have to learn and how important it is to protect these incredible places and creatures.

I know we’re already six months into 2025, but I had to take a moment to appreciate the absolute madness that was 2024. If I’ve been quiet on here, it’s because I have been working on multiple projects—starting and ending the year in Antarctica. Never did I think I’d step onto that frozen world twice in one year.

In between, I worked with some of my favorite people and spent more time documenting marine life than ever before.

2025 is all about leveling up—pushing my underwater certifications, refining my camera work, and dedicating even more time to the ocean. Let’s go. 🌊
