Bio

As a Photojournalist in the United States Air Force I have been responsible for sharing the diverse stories of Airmen throughout the nation and abroad. I have worked in various mediums to include news and feature writing, photography, and videography. I have spent time in Afghanistan documenting the broad missions across Bagram, Kandahar and Jalalabad AirFields as well as documenting the Aerial Refueling mission at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. Finally, as a recent graduate of the Military Visual Journalism program at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications I have honed my skills as a visual communicator. I have a passion for sharing the stories of those who feel they have less of a voice.
