Request QuoteI am an American, multi-awarded professional photo/video journalist based in India. I have resided in Africa, the Middle East and Asia for nearly a decade covering conflict and disasters with a humanitarian focus. I believe strongly in the potential to create change in the world and raise awareness through the power of storytelling – focusing largely on women’s issues, migration, poverty, and human rights. My work has taken me to countries that include Sierra Leone, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Mexico and Mongolia. Be it photography, video or written articles, my work has been published by the Guardian, BBC, Al Jazeera, Upworthy, the Chicago Sun-Times, AFP and the Diplomat among others. There is no where I will not go, though the more unexplored and in need of a voice the better. I am based in Mumbai, India and available for local and international assignments.
