About

As a native Bay Ridge, Brooklyn gal & an alum of the School of Visual Arts, I began my career as a photojournalist shadowing the Brooklyn Borough President as one of his personal photographers. Eventually I found my way to the hallowed halls of ELLE Magazine and spent three years producing still life product shoots and doing extensive photo research and editing, all while surrounded by some of the best dressed people in New York City.

Next was a move to Los Angeles to add a little extra vitamin D to my life. As the Senior Photo Editor for the west coast at BuzzFeed News, I produced entertainment and national news editorial photography as well as BuzzFeed News’ first-ever photo studios at major film festivals.

Currently I’m on contract with Starz, helping to create and curate the unit photography for shows such as Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, American Gods, and P-Valley, as well unscripted series’ Seduced: Inside The NXIVM Cult, Leavenworth and Wrong Man.
