I'm a visual journalist currently based in Buffalo, WY and available for assignment. My heart belongs mainly to photography but I honestly love all parts of journalism from writing and copyediting to video editing and community outreach.
My personal work mainly centers around the intersection of sports and community. I grew up involved in sports like playing a soccer game with my neighbors and competing on my community swim team. I remember fondly the friends I made, how I'm still close with my high school marching band family. When I started photographing sports I thought about all these connections and how important they were--and still are--to me. This made me want to go beyond game coverage and showcase the communities in and around different sports.
Outside of sports I also enjoy documenting the environment and how humans have affected it, mental health issues and stories that are simply about people and human connection.
In my free time I enjoy reading books (either fantasy or psychological horror) and channeling my inner grandma by crocheting and cross stitching.
