Writer
Arts & Culture, Photography Specialist
My writing runs the gamut from Arts & Culture to parenting. Academically, I specialize in interrogating the photographic image, but my criticism extends to all mediums. I have written about art for Ibraaz, the Pera Museum,Yabangee.com, and more. See clips and personal essays on my blog Latin for Honey.
Editor
I specialize in framework, content & continuity
As an editor, I take on clients whose projects need a special focus on framework and concise language, including grants, essays, syllabi, and more. Specializing in writing resumes and CVs big and small, I can help you frame soft skills, an absence from the workforce, or a pivot in your career.
Visual Artist
Photographer, Printmaker & Multi-Media Artist
Proficient in digital and analog photography, my early career focused on photographic projects related to regional identity in the American Midwest. Now, I use mixed media to examine the relationship between images and text with influences from critical theory and the various contemporary debates around the photographic image.
