I am an experienced and detail-oriented Photo Editor and Retoucher based in New York City. I have nearly a decade of industry experience, ranging from production and retouching to shooting and everything in between. I excel at producing high-quality work in a timely manner and always meeting deadlines. Most recently, I was the National Photo Editor for Time Out, and previously I was the Associate Photo Editor at WWE Digital Media Headquarters where I acted as lead retoucher. I'd love to connect and am currently available for projects and collaborations.
