What I Work On
I primarily edit visuals on stories from ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network, working with our local partner newsrooms across the country. My visual editing and art direction have been awarded by the National Press Photographers Association, the Society for News Design, The Society of Publication Designers and the Online Journalism Awards.
My Background
Prior to joining ProPublica, I was NPR’s international visual editor. Before turning to editing, I worked for more than a decade as a freelance photojournalist, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. I co-founded Everyday Africa, a collective of photographers using social media to broaden coverage of Africa beyond the headlines, and The Everyday Projects, a global community of photographers and visual literacy nonprofit. I was a 2019 John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University, and I am the recipient of grants and awards from the Brown Institute for Media Innovation, Code for Africa, the Magnum Foundation, the Open Society Foundations, PhotoWings, Pictures of the Year International and the Pulitzer Center, among others.
