Photojournalism
I’m thrilled to announce my first journalistic article and photos were published! I was blown away when I saw the printed copy and was amazed at how great the layout looks. Race is never an easy topic to discuss but cosplayer Tif Von Batsy handled the topic with ease and was very eloquent discussing her experiences as a black cosplayer. I was excited to produce this article and was glad to see it well received.

I wrote an article! I’ve become more enthusiastic about photojournalism within the last few years and got an opportunity to shoot and write an article for the Denver Voice newspaper. After photographing Boulder Burlesque’s Hot Stuff Summer, I interviewed the producer Crista Reid to gain more insight about the dance organization. I was nervous to interview but found it very exciting and engaging. I’m looking forward to writing more articles and shooting more stories!

I recently become a contributor to the Denver Voice, a free newspaper here in Denver that facilitates a dialogue addressing the roots of social injustices while offering economic, educational, and empowerment opportunities to impoverished communities.
I was thrilled to receive my first assignment, photographing a Covid-19 vaccination event at Lincoln High School. The vaccination clinic was focused on Latino’s & minorities, which make up less than 30% of Denver’s Covid vaccinations. The event didn’t have a high turnout but it was great experience shooting my first assignment for a news organization.
Earlier this year I applied to be a member of Diversify Photo, an organization that promotes diversity among photographers. Diversify allows photographers who are people of color into a database where editors at major media companies to seek diverse visual storytellers. I’m happy to announce that my work was seen and selected for the ‘Photographers Up Next’ section. According to Diversify, my photo work is in the process of moving to the next step of having engaging visual stories from a photographer that is a person of color. I’m looking forward to continuing to build my photo work and see what stories I tell going forward
I had a wonderful opportunity to see a great film about the process of refugee's and what is required for them to come to the United States and what they must do in order to stay in the US. Afterwards, a Q & A with a four person panel of refugees now living in America discussed their experiences of living in America.
