These are the questions that professional female athletes face every single day, attempting to balance the weight of opportunity and progress.  Social media is flooded with historical achievements and positive imagery, showing how women are truly making the best of the opportunities they are given.  However, behind these portrayals lie many harsh truths which are not-so-often depicted for fear that progress will grind to a halt.  These negative realities are justified by critics who cite the financial and physical discrepancies between men and women’s sports as reasons for females to be grateful for an opportunity to play.  Behind the Front explores these positive and negative realities prompting an honest conversation about what it will take to achieve true equity in professional women’s hockey.  Each piece in the series explores an experience throughout my playing career.

Duality is a driving force in her work and allows an outlet to turn pain into something beautiful. She captures how a scene feels rather than how it looks. This new way of seeing creates space, a chance to gain perspective. Often the photographs can be viewed in a multitude of ways, using multiple exposures and relying on serendipity of the darkroom process, they become representations of a moment
