Portland, Oregon Metropolitan Area

As part of a team, I work directly with TriMet customers, staff and contractors to disseminate information, offer system navigation help, or simply to welcome returning and new riders alike. In addition, I provide feedback to internal stakeholders about TriMet visual aids and functionality. My goal in performing customer-focused duties on TriMet vehicles and property is to improve ridership while putting an approachable human face to an otherwise impersonal transit agency.

Black Rock City, Nev.

My position in the media department of the Burning Man Project has a few different elements to it. The main position is during Burning Man in Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis of 70,000 or more on a dry, prehistoric lakebed in northwestern Nevada. I work as a liaison between members of the media and Burning Man community, with responsibilities ranging from helping media personnel with registration paperwork to disassembly of the temporary home of Media Mecca, the gathering point for the press and working office for media. It closely resembles public affairs or press offices elsewhere.During the rest of the year, I keep an eye out for questionable or improper uses of Burning Man imagery or intellectual property, forwarding anything in question through the proper channels.

My photojournalism career began when I joined the student newspaper at Western Connecticut State University and had continued again with the Portland State Vanguard recently. Between those two student papers, I have worked for weekly newspapers such as the Litchfield Country Times/Housatonic Publications, Fairfield and Westport Minuteman newspapers, Randolph Wingspread, and el Canillita in Danbury, CT. I also had photography published in Danbury News-Times, San Antonio Express-News and West Austin News. Did freelance photography for Vector Media, the CoStar Group, Davis Studio and a few articles for the Lomography online magazine. I participated in an advertising campaign through McCann Erickson for the Nikon d80 DSLR camera. Rolling Stone magazine and Cengage Publishing both licensed the same photograph from San Antonio. Cengage, a textbook publisher ran the photo in a Texas history book while Rolling Stone ran the photo in their Nov. 24, 2014 issue.

Portland, Or

As a photojournalist, I provided news and feature photographic images to the photography editor. I covered news and features, and given my geographic proximity to campus, I became the default on-call photographer. When I assumed the photo editor position, I was in charge of photographic content for print and on-line versions of the newspaper, hiring and managing photographers and keeping records of school-owned photography equipment. I created and maintained a hierarchal photography archive, including keywording and standardizing captions. I maintained a database of photographers' contact information, availability and preferred types of assignments. I introduced data asset management software and industry-standard photojournalism practices to the photography department. I mentored photographers about ethics and the mechanics of photography while giving them space to explore their own projects and ideas.

Telecommute, Austin

As a publisher, I worked in the capacity of a photography editor. Demotix was a London-based for-profit photo distribution service. As photos are uploaded from around the globe, I check cutlines, headlines and other information. I perform basic fact-checking and other editor duties.Depending on the photo and subject matter, I send the photo where it needs to go (archive, "breaking news"). Sometimes I have to send pictures back to the photographer to add keywords, more photos or for clarification.

However, I still write and shoot photos for the office, just not as much.
