Before joining Mirror Indy, I was a staff photojournalist at the Indianapolis Star for 8 years where I helped lead the newsroom’s union. I’m a versatile news and sports photojournalist with a knack for video storytelling.
When I’m not working, I’m usually seeking out some sunshine and rest. I enjoy hiking, dancing, practicing yoga and meditation, eating good food and being with my people.
I see local journalism as a public service and believe it is our duty to meet community members where they’re at. I’m eager to join a newsroom that is rethinking how we report local news and tell stories.
