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.
