I grew up surrounded by the storytellers in in a small, rural town in Colorado. I wanted desperately to participate and quickly found photojournalism as my medium for joining in on storytelling. Since I grew up in a news desert, editing and photographing with people and communities that don't regularly interact with photojournalists is my favorite part of the industry. 

I'm a currently a photo editor with ESPN and Andscape, based in Louisville, KY. I really enjoy sports and the emotion and community it brings out of people, though community-focused documentary photojournalism, with and without sports, is my work-happy place. 

Previously, I worked as a staff photojournalist with the Buffalo Bulletin and Report for America in Buffalo, Wy. You probably haven't heard of it, but this beautiful town is in roughly the middle-of-no-where-Wyoming and is home to the end of Interstate-25, among so many other things. 

I earned grad and undergrad degrees with the University of Missouri in photojournalism and anthropology. 

I work as staff support for the Missouri Photo Workshop, a documentary photo workshop, every year I can and I really enjoy teaching photography to kids. 

I love working with and meeting new people so let's chat!

Previous publications include: Andscape, Buffalo Bulletin, Columbia Missourian, ESPN, New York Times, Religion News Service, Ground Truth Project and USA Today.
