Hi there! I am an independent documentary photographer currently based in Metro Detroit, Michigan. Before transitioning back to my home state, I worked as a staff photojournalist at The News & Advance in Lynchburg, Virginia.

I recently achieved my M.S. in Photography degree from S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Previous to graduate school, I received my B.A. in Journalism and the Arts in the Humanities with a specialization in visual communications from Michigan State University.

Michigan based but always willing to travel.

Driving distances in the Midwest from Michigan:

  • Toledo, OH - 1.5 hours

  • Cleveland, OH - 3 hours

  • Columbus, OH - 3.5 hours

  • Grand Rapids, MI - 2.5 hours

  • Cincinnati, OH - 4 hours

  • Chicago, IL - 4.5 hours

  • Indianapolis, IN - 4.5 hours

  • Pittsburgh, PA - 4.5 hours
