I’m a photojournalist and reporter based in Cambridge, MA. After graduating from Dartmouth College in June 2023 with degrees in Linguistics and International Studies, I moved to the Boston area to pursue a career in photojournalism and storytelling.
As an undergraduate, I took photographs for The Dartmouth newspaper and The Aegis yearbook. After two years on staff and on the directorate board, I served as the Editor-in-Chief of The Aegis during my junior and senior years. I also worked as a Photojournalist Intern for Dartmouth’s Office of Communications from 2021 to 2023 covering stories from around campus. I received the Thomas W. Gerber ’43 Award for photojournalism from The Dartmouth and collaborated with professional photographers and writers through my internships. (Learn more about my photojournalism internship.)
During my time in New Hampshire, I freelanced for The Valley News, collecting stories and photographs from around the Upper Valley, learning the importance of local journalism. And, in Cambridge, I have worked for The Cambridge Day as a reporter and photojournalist, covering a variety of topics around the city, including city council affairs, the local economy, business, transportation, and music.
In December of 2023, I traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina for the 15th PanAmerican Maccabi Games as a member of the Maccabi Media Team for the USA delegation. In July 2024, I was invited back to the Maccabi USA team as the photographer for European Maccabi Youth Games in London.
In September 2024, I relocated to Guatemala as a Dartmouth Postgraduate Fellow with Women’s Justice Initiative, a non-profit working with Maya-Kaqchikel communities to prevent child marriage and gender-based violence, improve access to justice in rural Guatemala, and provide women and girls with the tools to become leaders. As I member of the Communication & Development team, I immersed myself in non-profit engagement and built my journalism portfolio.
