I'm an artist with a keen interest in photography and the language of lens based media. With a history of administrative and leadership roles, I'm looking to further my development with positions that focus on visual storytelling in an editorial capacity.

The Black Shutter network has roots in advertising, photojournalism, and entertainment—a trifecta. We’ve seen what happens when the right voices aren’t in the room. Big brands stumble and miss the mark when trying to speak to the culture. Meanwhile, the opportunity gap for Black and Brown artists leaves countless stories untold.

We are that missing voice. The one that bridges the gap, amplifies the culture and ensures the story gets told right.
