A little about me

Most recently, I was the Head of Visuals at HuffPost, where I led a multidisciplinary team of photo editors, designers, and art directors/illustrators. I oversaw commissioned and in-house photography, illustrations and visual content, collaborating across the newsroom to elevate HuffPost’s visual journalism and improve internal storytelling tools.

​

With over 20 years of experience in visuals and media, I’ve worked across diverse industries including book publishing, television, fashion, and editorial. In 2017, I spearheaded the launch of commissioned photography at HuffPost, marking a significant milestone for the online-only news outlet.

​

I have collaborated with organizations such as Magnum, Women Photograph,
the LA Center of Photography, Photolucida, Center Santa Fe and many more. In 2023, I served as one of five jurors for the 2023 Women Photograph Project Grant, which annually awards funding to five female, trans, and non-binary photographers to develop a body of work.

​

In my spare time, I enjoy photography, CrossFit, baking, cooking, travel, and spending time with my family. I’m currently located in the scenic Hudson Valley, NY.
