About

I am a born-and-raised Texan turned Pacific Northwesterner working as an independent documentary photographer, photo editor and videographer in the Yakima Valley of central Washington state. I previously managed photo desks for small-market newspapers, collaborating with staff photographers and interns producing multimedia stories. I obtained my master's degree in Journalism and bachelor's in Italian and Art History, both from the University of Texas at Austin. I also served as a graduate teaching assistant, instructing students on the fundamentals of photography and photojournalism.With a foundation in black-and-white 35mm film photography and darkroom printing, I also enjoy experimenting with the limits of film and alternative photographic processes. For my personal work, I also create surrealistic cut-and-paste collages.I have a keen interest in anthropology and psychology with an excitement for universal stories that document the human condition. I am particularly passionate about working in smaller communities and rural, under-reported areas. I strongly believe that community-oriented visual storytelling can foster connection among neighbors.
