ABOUT MEPhotographer + Multimedia Artist
Digital storytelling is one of the most powerful and engaging tools of our time to build beyond walls – a world where the rights and dignity of all communities are respected.
I've worked as a producer, photographer, and communications manager with groups ranging from Al Jazeera’s AJ+, Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN), Public Advocates, Indigenous Rising Media, and currently, Rainforest Action Network, where I work at the intersection of human rights, climate change, and corporate accountability. I am a 2019 Lucie Foundation "Photo Taken, Emerging Scholarship" nominee, and this year my work was featured at the immersive We Rise Art Gallery in Los Angeles alongside artists Shepard Fairey, Cannupa Hanska Luger, and Favianna Rodriguez. In 2017, I had the honor of collaborating with artist Ernesto Yerena and the Amplifier Foundation on the We The People campaign. My writing, production, photojournalism, and ghostwritten works have been published in publications ranging from Newsweek, U.S. News World Report, The Hill, Al Jazeera's AJ+, ColorLines, Grist, Alternet, Salon, Forbes, and more. I'm also a 2017 New Economies Reporting Project fellow with the Media Consortium. “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.”

Standing Rock - Indigenous Rising Media
|
I had the great honor of working with the Indigenous Environmental Network at Standing Rock to help
co-launch a first ever Indigenous-led digital storytelling media platform, Indigenous Rising Media. Over the course of four months, we produced daily content from the ground, provided a much needed Indigenous-led narrative. |
