Objective

I am a freelance writer and photographer. I bring 10 years of experience storytelling through journalism and marketing. Both my writing and photography frequently appear in national publications, including the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, TIME, and NPR.

I am looking for freelance or regular part-time opportunities as a writer and/or photographer.

For writing and editing I am particularly interested in op-eds and essays, culture, and issues of race and identity. For photography I am open to all opportunities.
