As a photojournalist and writer based in Cincinnati, Ohio, I am drawn to stories about how people find their place in the world. Through thought-provoking words and creative imagery, my goal is to share impactful stories that otherwise wouldn't be known. 

Currently, I am the incoming summer photography fellow at The Texas Tribune. In May, 2023, I graduated from Ohio University with dual degrees in visual communication and journalism with a specialization in entrepreneurship. In my free time, I find joy when exploring nature and finding new music. I'm available for contract work and always happy to have a conversation.
