I work in communications and creative strategy, with a focus on content and coverage for fast-moving, public-facing environments. My background spans institutional, nonprofit, and mission-driven work where timing, clarity, and judgment matter as much as creative output.

A significant part of my work centers on event photography for conferences and summits—often in settings where moments can’t be repeated and content needs to move quickly to communications teams. Over time, I’ve become as focused on delivery, organization, and workflow as on the images themselves.

I’m used to operating in complex environments with multiple stakeholders, approval layers, and real consequences for getting things wrong. Based in the Northeast, I’ve spent years embedded with teams that need experienced, dependable execution.
