Editorial, Commercial, and Documentary Photographer in Maine, working to increase awareness about our local food systems and the people who make them possible.

I manage social media accounts and strategy for a diversified organic family farm. I generate original photo and written content, create paid advertisements, and produce flyers, signs, and posters for distribution and farmers' markets. I contribute photo content to statewide organizations and fundraisers for information and promotion. I communicated directly with customers about products, events, and the farm's mission.

Managed a field crew of 2-10 members speaking English and Spanish in time-sensitive and labor-intensive tasks harvesting strawberries, sugar and shell peas, beans, and peppers. Prepared supplies, assessed readiness of crop for harvest, and strategically planned harvests to fill the week's market and wholesale needs. Delegated to crew members to maximize efficiency and developed backup plans around weather conditions. Planned projections for harvest and predicted market numbers, organized and stored produce for markets, calculated invoices, and made wholesale deliveries.

Managed and generated content for the social media platform of a new educational food tour company in Portland, Maine.
