The Work
My ultimate goal in both writing and photography is telling an effective story. I want my audience to be transported into the position of the subject—whether that's on the busy streets of Washington D.C. or in the serenity of rural West Virginia.
My other goal is to make meaningful connections with my subjects and the places I make work. The best stories are told through honest, vulnerable communication and that can only be achieved through mutual trust and a dedication to working with the participant.
Let's link up if you'd like to discuss how I can help you tell your story.

My Story
I grew up in a small town on the shores of Lake Michigan. While I would later move away to cities on the east coast, my upbringing left me with a deep appreciation for the natural world.
While in school at Emerson College, I committed to editorial positions at The Berkeley Beacon, the student newspaper. With the Beacon, I developed an intense passion for telling meaningful stories and holding those in power accountable for their actions.
In my three years out of school, I have written for the Associated Press, Law360, and Bloomberg Law. I've also provided photography services for multiple clients with corporate headshots, intimate portraits, and athletic content.
