EDITORIAL
The Denver Post Visuals Team spent a year following oil and gas worker accidents in Colorado. Lack of oversight left many accidents undocumented. The project was recognized with the Emmy Awards for Overall Excellence and Community Service.
As a Photojournalist, I focused on documentary photo projects. Recognition included POYi Photojournalist of the Year, second place. Awarded Virginia Photojournalist of the Year three years.
Moving into visual editing, I was part of the team at The Denver Post recognized with the Pulitzer Prize as a Photography Editor on the Aurora Theater mass shooting.
I led our team to Emmy Awards for Overall Excellence and Community Service and we received the top editing award in POYi.
An opportunity as Creative Director for a personal finance startup brought me back to Florida where I directed UX design, photography, video, social design and brand design.
