I got my start as an Air Force photographer over ten years ago at the age of 17. I am one of only two women to win the NPPA Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have won it twice. In the fall of 2004, I attended Syracuse University where I was presented with the Associated Collegiate Press Award. Since that time, my work has been publicized in various media to include Time Magazine, New York Times, CNN, Oscar nominated PBS: Operation Home Coming and GQ Magazine: This is Our War. Most notably, I was featured in national magazines, Pink, Popular Photography and Newsweek, where I shared my experiences as a female combat photojournalist. My quirky photo project titled "Birth Control Glasses" was featured at National Geographic’s Look Photo Exhibit 2007 and my portrayal of combat experiences in Iraq titled "Inside An Ambush" was highlighted in the NPPA Magazine that same year. I am also an NPPA Women in Photojournalism and Atlanta Photojournalism Contest award winner. My images are currently exhibited in Charleston, S.C. and L.A., California. I freelance worldwide and am the acting Director at the Charleston Center for Photography.
