About + Contact
I’m a photographer and videographer with 10+ years of experience in journalism and nonprofit communications. I currently work at Yale University as a video producer for the School of Medicine, where I conceptualize, film and edit original documentary-style video content.
Prior to joining Yale, I lived in Amman, Jordan, where I covered stories on forced migration, the environment, and issues faced by women and children. My work has been commissioned and featured by UNICEF, UNOPS, the Associated Press, WIRED, USAID, Gilead Sciences, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union, Sesame Workshop, Der Spiegel, NRC Handelsblad, among others.
I completed my graduate studies in Visual Anthropology at the University of Münster in Germany, where I further developed my interests in transnational families and migration, visual representations of motherhood, digital ethnography and auto-ethnographic practices. I received my BFA in Photojournalism from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2012.
A wayward Cajun originally from Louisiana, I’ve called ten states and three countries home, and now live in New Haven, CT with my husband, Layth, sons Yahya and Ziad, and a very lazy cat named Sunshine. Outside of work, you’ll find me chasing after my kids, sewing or knitting.
