I’m a freelance visual journalist based in Jacksonville, Florida, working in photo, video and written reporting. I have more than a decade of experience in news, including as a daily news video journalist and climate reporter for The New York Times, and as a photojournalist for local newspapers in Northeast Florida.

For six years, I worked on the staff of The New York Times video team covering breaking news across a wide range of global and U.S. stories. This included pitching and producing quick-turn video packages remotely and in the field; filming footage during news events; sourcing and verifying video from social media; editing videos; conducting archival research and operating livestreams. 

This work included co-producing videos in the field and on the impact of prolonged extreme heat on people facing homelessness in Orlando, and on a migrant family’s first days in New York City after being bused to Port Authority from Texas. I also gathered video as wildfire smoke and snowstorms hit the city, filmed protests and celebrations on the streets, and filed video updates for the Times’ live coverage of the New York City Marathon. 

At the Times, I also completed a three-month embed as a writer on the climate desk. There, my work included reporting on the colliding threats of extreme heat and air pollution; a protest by hundreds of scientists against cuts to climate and weather research by the Trump administration; and the effectiveness of plastic bag bans on reducing shoreline pollution. Additionally, I pitched and produced a multimedia story in photo, video and text on community mangrove restoration efforts in Sanibel Island, Florida as part of the area’s hurricane recovery and resilience.

Originally from Northeast Florida, I also reported throughout the First Coast as a staff photojournalist for The St. Augustine Record and a regular freelancer for The Florida Times-Union. This included covering the impact and long aftermaths of two major hurricanes, Hurricane Matthew and Hurricane Irma.

I earned a master’s in journalism with a specialization in documentary filmmaking from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and a bachelor’s in communication from Jacksonville University.
