Experience
For more than a decade, I have been an award winning photojournalist
who has worked in many of America`s largest and most competitive
television markets. I am currently a photojournalist at KIRO-TV In
Seattle, WA. I`ve also worked in major cities like Washington, D.C.,
San Francisco, Houston, Miami, and Atlanta.
I believe creativity, dependability, and versatility are very important
qualities in our business. Through the years I`ve tried to do more
than just be a photographer. I also have extensive experience as a
producer when I worked as a member with the investigations unit that
was credited with prompting changes with a charter school in Texas and
homeless mission.
Finally, I`m a photographer who thrives under pressure, is always
looking for ways to improve, and is a team player. I would like the
opportunity to speak to you about how I can contribute to your award
winning staff.
