About
Hi, thanks for visiting my site. I am a digital media producer for American Airlines. I came to American two years ago after nearly a decade of working in newspaper journalism, spending the majority of that time on the award-winning photography staff of The Dallas Morning News.
I grew up being so affected by the visual moments that photographers before me captured that I didn't just want to be a visual storyteller – I had to be. The power of an image is not lost on me. It provokes thought, change, and ideas. And I'm grateful for every opportunity to tell a story.
When not on assignment, I live in Dallas with my husband Frank and my mini me – my two-year-old daughter Sally Rose.
