Visual Journalist, Filmmaker, and Impact Producer in Twisp, Washington
I'm a photojournalist and filmmaker with expertise on human trafficking, harm reduction, global health, food systems, healthcare, and housing.
My time behind the camera and in the edit suite taught me the value of pre-production, clear communication, and collaboration.
This is especially important when developing impact-focused, authentic stories with character driven narratives and universal themes. It also informs my contract work for a large foundation producing global photo assignments.
I'm a World Press, Pictures of the Year and Best of Photojournalism winner, Emmy and Webby nominated, and have won several journalism and social justice impact grants.
I was once Seattle-based, but now live in a small town where I volunteer on town council and spend time in the mountains to stay grounded.
