About
I am a former reporter and award-winning photographer residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Recently, I have returned to school to pursue my undergraduate degree in political science and social justice studies, before moving on to earn a master's degree in public policy. I have over 20 years of photography experience, along with solid leadership ability. Over the last decade, I have successfully built and marketed my own business. I excel at research and communication and am able to work well with a variety of people. My curious nature and ability to multitask allow me to learn new skills with ease.
