Producing in-depth storytelling, building narratives that drive impact.
I currently serve as the Multimedia and Digital Marketing Coordinator at the Pulitzer Center in Washington, D.C. As a communications team member, I utilize multimedia storytelling and digital marketing tools to support the Pulitzer Center's brand and spread its message across digital platforms.
Before joining this inspiring team, I worked as a visual journalist and photographer in New Jersey, Indiana, and Michigan, producing community-oriented stories related to the environment, local politics, sports, agriculture, immigration, and housing insecurity. I received my BFA in Photographic Arts and Sciences—Photojournalism from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2018.
Throughout my career, I have been committed to highlighting the beauty of everyday life and drawing attention to social issues. I am particularly driven to uplift voices in marginalized communities and use my intimate approach to multimedia storytelling to encourage empathy and understanding.
