As assistant managing editor for photography at National Geographic Magazine, I oversee multi-platform storytelling in collaboration with National Geographic Society, National Geographic Channel, and Disney+. Core responsibilities include conceptulizing and commissioning relevant, engaging stories that resonate with and embrace the NG audience, mission and current business objectives.
Previously the director of photography for National Geographic Traveler, senior photo editor at The Washington Post and photo editor with The Dallas Morning News, I’ve shaped stories, with hundreds of photojournalists and storytellers, which have been recognized internationally for their strength and diversity in storytelling.
I’m actively involved in the international photo community serving as a judge for photographic and journalism prizes, including PDN Photo Annual, Eyem, LensCulture, Visura, SATW Photo Competition, and NPPA Best of the World. Speaking engagements include the Cultural Tourism Symposium, hosted by Destination British Columbia, the Adventure Travel Trade Association’s AdventureELEVATE summit in Banff, Flytographers 4th Global Meet-up: Lisbon, and Pure Michigan Governor’s Conference on Tourism.
Always looking to foster the next generation of storytellers, I enjoy guest lecturing at various universities throughout the year.
