our team
A natural-born extrovert, Becca has been passionate about storytelling for as long as she can remember which led her to a BFA in Photography. She first traveled to serve internationally at the age of 15 and fell in love with using her passion for photography to showcase stories of dignity and empowerment. Through her service in an orphanage in the Philippines, she fell in love with the vibrant culture but also became heartbroken over the reality of child exploitation there. Which in return, birthed the idea of Redeeming Zoe and working to strengthen the family system. In her spare time, you can bet she is learning to cook something new or outdoors in a hammock listening to worship music, reading a book, or taking a nap. Also, you can count on it all being documented along the way.
