About Me

I am currently a photographer and writer for The Post in Athens, Ohio, a team member of Keynote Music Collective, and a freelance photographer with Stuart’s Opera House in Nelsonville, Ohio. With Keynote, I have photographed artists and events such as Nelsonville Music Festival, From Ashes to New, Courtney Barnett, Indigo De Souza, and more in the position of Senior Photographer and writer. For The Post, I not only am a part of the photography team and have been featured on multiple front covers of our print edition, but I am also a culture/human interest writer as well as an opinion columnist, currently having written 45+ articles and columns with more to come, most focusing on local music, Appalachian culture, and the outdoors.

In my time with The Post and KMC, I have had the opportunity to interview 4x Grammy award winning musician Sarah Jarosz, The Ballroom Thieves, Pulitzer prize nominated photographer Johnny Crawford, filmmaking couple Studio Ragheb, and climbing podcast host and film festival director Kathy Karlo, among many others.

I am currently a junior studying Photojournalism at Ohio University, with a minor in Outdoor Recreation and Education.
