About

I am a photographer, documentarian, writer and painter. For the past six years, I have worked on a variety of documentary projects from intimate portraits of family members, a written piece about the implosion of a church in Philadelphia, to international work with non-profits.

I was awarded a 2007-2008 Lewis Hine Documentary Fellowship from Duke University. Which has given me a year to work on a documentary project, constant advice, and the equipment and resources I need bring my work to a new level.

I am currently focusing on documenting teen pregnancy and am collaborating with Roca - a non-profit in Chelsea MA that is dedicated to community-based intervention. My documentary work with teen mothers involves collaborative photography, journaling, audio recording, and painting. It also involves a lot of hanging out, making cookies, going to prenatal classes in Spanish and the occasional braiding of my little ponies’ mane.

I am currently working with the young women to prepare for an exhibit of their work along with my own in Chelsea the first week of August.
