ABOUT ME //

I (she/her/hers) am a photojournalist at the Indianapolis Star, where I tell human-centered stories through dynamic still images and video. I’m most drawn to stories that have been overlooked or less reported by mainstream media. I am a skilled portrait, documentary and sports photographer and have a knack for video storytelling. 

In my 8 years as a newspaper photojournalist, I have developed a gentle but direct approach to reporting, strong news judgment and an ability to lead well under pressure. I practice local journalism as a public service and believe it is a journalist’s duty to meet community members where they’re at.

I am also president of the Indianapolis NewsGuild, a union whose mission is more than just workplace betterment – we are fighting to preserve local news.

Originally from northeast Ohio, I earned a bachelor of science in journalism with a concentration in photo from Kent State University in 2015. Before joining IndyStar full-time, I interned at the Grand Forks Herald, Columbus Dispatch and the Star.
