What I Work On

I edit, photograph and art direct stories across the site. My primary focus is visual coverage for projects in the Midwest, Southwest and Texas.

My Background

I have worked in visual journalism for over a decade, from reporting in the field to building groundbreaking online packages.

Before joining ProPublica, I edited for publications like Rest of World, Roads & Kingdoms, and The Guardian. As a photographer, my work has primarily focused on migration and the conflicts in Iraq and Syria.

I am the inaugural recipient of the James Foley Award for Conflict Reporting, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and a Dart Center Ochberg Fellow in Journalism and Trauma.
