I love to create compelling visual content that makes a difference. I believe that compelling content is at the core of a great brand and should play a large role in the strategic communications plan.
I am currently the leader in charge of visuals for the Texas Medical Center’s 30,000-circulation magazine; promoting the Texas Medical Center’s role as an international hub through collaboration with print, online, and broadcast news media locally and across the United States. I also coordinate closely with the organization’s social media and marketing teams to increase brand awareness of messaging across channels. Over the years I have formed a great relationship with the 61-member association of nonprofit hospitals, institutes and medical schools across the $125-million nonprofit Texas Medical Center to find stories for publication in TMC’s magazine, Pulse.
My career in visuals began at the age of 13 when my dad handed me a film camera and said, “have fun.” He still loves to tell the story of me trying to load the film for the first time. I had strung it out on accident, essentially ruining the film. It was quite funny, and I learned my fair share that day. Since that fun-filled day, I obtained a Bachelor’s of Photojournalism at Western Kentucky University. I am currently an MBA candidate at Texas A&M – Kingsville.
If I’m not shooting photos, I’m spending time with my family and our two dogs. When they are sleeping, I sit at the kitchen table and work on MBA degree. I will graduate in 2020.
I have interned or worked for, The Houston Chronicle, The Associated Press, The Dallas Morning News, The Austin American-Statesman, The Roanoke Times and The Lincoln Journal-Star.
My work has been recognized by the Barbara Jordan Media Awards, Alexia Foundation, National Press Photographer’s Association, The Associated Press, Hearst Journalism Awards, College Photographer of the Year, Associated Press Managing Editors and the Lone Star Awards. While struggling academically in school, my proudest award is still the Outstanding Senior award that I received in High School – 13 of 269 students received the award.
