I am a visual communicator with deep roots in photojournalism and editorial leadership. With a foundation in award-winning photojournalism and decades of editorial leadership, I create high impact photography, video, websites, and graphic design, all tailored to meet the unique visual communication needs of each client and project.
As director of communications for the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University, I led the development of the college’s brand identity and communications initiatives, strengthening its visibility, sharpening its message, and expanding its reach.
Before that, I served as the Knight Digital Media Fellow in the Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism at Ohio State, where I produced a series of powerful video stories examining the culture of “no snitching” in Newport News, Virginia.
My work is shaped by a career at the highest levels of journalism. I was a senior editor and photojournalist on The Charlotte Observer team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, and I’ve earned more than 40 national and state awards, including honors from the Society of News Design, Scripps Howard, and the Missouri Lifestyle General Excellence awards. My photography and visual storytelling have appeared in TIME, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, and National Geographic World.
As a newsroom leader, I have held senior editing roles at The Charlotte Observer, The Milwaukee Journal, The Baltimore Evening Sun, The Arkansas Democrat, Treasure Coast Newspapers in Florida, Scripps Howard News Service in Washington, D.C., and The Roanoke Times.
I bring a deep understanding of how to craft stories that resonate, inform, and inspire, helping clients communicate with clarity, credibility, and impact.
