I was born in England and moved to the US with my family in 2009. Since then, I’ve learned that the best way to find your place somewhere new is to get curious about the people around you. That habit has shaped almost everything I do.
It’s also how I ended up at Roanoke College, where I earned both my BBA and my MBA. Along the way, I picked up internships in biopharmaceutical companies, spent a summer studying in Japan and took a research fellowship in South Korea. Each experience that Roanoke provided me taught me something I didn’t expect, usually from the person sitting across from me.
Today I’m a digital marketing specialist at LeadPoint Digital in downtown Roanoke. I work on SEO, paid media, email, and social, mostly for healthcare, technology, and dental clients. The work comes down to helping a real person find the right place at the right moment.
I also pick up a camera. Lewis Edwards Photography has grown over about five years into weddings, portraits, events and video. I shoot with Fujifilm gear, and I’ve photographed everything from charity races to the David L. Guy Lecture Series at the College. Photography taught me to wait for the moment someone forgets they’re being watched. That’s the moment I’m after in every interview.
I try to stay involved close to home. I’m President of Ad 2 Roanoke, a Talent Ambassador for Get2KnowNoke, and a returning face on campus. Last spring I got to speak to the Class of 2026 at Leave Your Mark about life after graduation, which reminded me how many stories our alumni have and how few get told.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me outside somewhere with my fiancée, doing work on my business or watching a soccer game.
That’s why Maroons for Life matters to me. Our alumni are building companies, leading teams, and quietly changing their communities. I want to sit down with them, ask good questions, and let their stories do the talking.
