I delight in experimentation and innovation.
I may see things that others on your team won't.
I celebrated the privilege to spend a good portion of my early career carrying a camera and notepad as a community photojournalist. Using the National Press Photographer's Association's guidelines for ethics and a honed instinct, I practiced the process of emptying my assumptions and expectations to serve as an authentic and accurate conduit in all my work. It was a pure joy to become saturated in the presentness of people's lives.
When I moved to the borough of High Bridge in 2020, I was charmed by the annual Soap Box Derby that ran down Main Street and past my apartment. As a new member of the Creative Team, the local arts and culture group, we imagined and realized a sustainably and inexpensively built cardboard soapbox car for children who were nonparticipants of the race. I built a 1:1 3d sketch-up model from which the team could together craft and assemble from recycled shipping cardboard. We built it in two modular pieces that could slide backwards and forwards to accommodate children with mobility issues. The free-play design decals and a rotating steering wheel engaged children while displaying to the crowd how to make inclusive and accessible artwork.
I've always been motivated to directly improve my immediate surroundings. In the past I have created and presented walk-bike audit trainings to volunteers who collect walkability and bikeability data on their towns for town planning development. With GIS mapping applications, I have empowered people to insert hard data into grant applications that improve accessibility and mobility.
As a co-founding partner of a hyper-local news startup, The High Bridge Hound, my partner and I ran interviews, covered municipal and community events, detailed elections, recorded oral histories, and produced informative multimedia. We further maintained a cross-interest public calendar, took polls for public interest, and ran a special series called Small Business Spotlights to highlight the local economy.
Often we created vignettes such as this one; short, focused, shareable clips that expressed purpose and directed engagement. Each year, a volunteer river cleanup is held. We aimed to display the sublime ease of the team working together to restore the pristine setting.
We partnered with the all-volunteer fire department in town to produce a video feature that would both explain the FD's operations while also encouraging more to join. It was our experience that everyday institutions were overlooked and taken for granted, thus we found utility in back-to-basics projects that centered around civic interests.
We had a lot of fun along the way.
