Documentary filmmaking and photojournalism.
I’ve worked on documentary projects in Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. and Mexico border. I also worked as a photo and video intern at The Arizona Republic for three years. Contact me if you’d like to collaborate on a project.
State of Emergency: Trapped in Recovery
I directed and worked as the lead editor for this 30-minute documentary episode. This is the first of four episodes of Carnegie-Knight News21’s State of Emergency project. The project has been awarded the 2019 EPPY Award for Best College/University Investigative Documentary Report, a 2019 Investigative Reporters and Editors Award, and the 2020 Broadcast Education Association Short Form Documentary Award of Excellence,
Puerto Rico: Restless and Resilient
I filmed and edited segments in this documentary.
“On Sept. 20, 2017, the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico was devastated by the most powerful hurricane to hit the island in 85 years, leaving its 3.6 million residents - the vast majority U.S. citizens - without power, without potable water, with severely damaged infrastructure and with little hope for a quick recovery. In March 2018 a team of student reporters from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University traveled to Puerto Rico to assess recovery efforts. They found parts of the island still devastated, but its people determined to rebuild and move forward.”
The Arizona Republic
I worked as a photo and video intern at The Arizona Republic, azcentral, for nearly three years. During my internship, I produced videos for numerous projects and breaking stories and photographed images for stories across BEATS.
