About
I began my career in photojournalism, working for newspapers and learning to tell stories through photographs. Those early years taught me to pay attention, ask better questions, and recognize the stories in everyday life. That curiosity eventually took me overseas to live and work in Asia and Africa, where my work expanded into communications, education, and public health with nonprofits, NGOs, and issues-focused organizations.
Across that work, I’ve been drawn to human-centered stories that connect larger issues to everyday experiences. I care about how systems and policies shape communities—how they can create opportunity and improve lives, or deepen inequities and leave people behind. Telling those stories starts with the people living them: their perspectives, the challenges they navigate, and the ways they work toward change.
I later brought that storytelling foundation to higher education, leading creative teams at Cornell University. Working alongside photographers, filmmakers, designers, and writers, I helped translate research and ideas into stories about their impact on people’s lives.
Today, I’m returning to my roots in photojournalism, bringing the perspective those years have given me. Based in Las Cruces, New Mexico, I pursue stories close to home and across borders. My approach starts with listening, spending time, and making photographs that help people see and understand one another.
