Summary
I’m a journalist specializing in documentary and marketing photography. With a degree in mass communications, I work with audio, video and photos for multimedia storytelling in the newsroom.
Being a technician in both digital and wet photography labs and has given me an appreciation for image-making. I use my background in art history and studio arts to inform my photography, giving me an optimistic perspective of the many uses of a graphic. From a teaching standpoint, I value the fundamentals of capturing photos and enjoy doing small-group lectures to teach photography to my community.
