Visual journalist and photographer creating compelling editorial and institutional imagery for web and print.
What I'm looking for
I am a visual journalist and photographer with a BFA in Photojournalism from RIT and experience documenting events, sports, portraiture, and campus life.
At Tilton School I photograph and film academics, athletics, events, and scenery for websites, social media, newsletters, and print, while managing the school's photo database and metadata for easy searchability.
I have extensive sports and event experience from roles with RIT SportsZone, Lake Erie Crushers, 6 Points Sports Academy, and RIT publications, delivering captioned, edited images on deadline and creating graphics and slideshows for digital channels.
I bring strong storytelling instincts, deadline-driven workflow, and experience coaching and supervising students; I enjoy visual storytelling that supports institutional communication and editorial projects.
