A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, I am a visual journalist and photographer. I currently work as the first ever staff photojournalist at Wisconsin Watch through Report for America. 

In early 2024,  I worked as the photojournalist intern at The Indianapolis Star. Last summer, I worked as the photography fellow at The Texas Tribune. In May, 2023, I graduated from Ohio University with dual degrees in visual communication and journalism. I am a member of the National Press Photographers Association, the Ohio News Photographers Association, and I curate for the Everyday Rural America Instagram account.

My work has appeared in The Indianapolis Star, The Texas Tribune, The Cincinnati Enquirer, ProPublica, Grist, USA Today and EcoWatch, among others.
