Perfect kite weather

I have been a staff photographer on The Day's visual team since 2017. After graduating with a degree in photojournalism in 2010 I have worked across the country, from Ohio to Washington, at strong community newspapers before returning to my New England roots. You can frequently find me looking for slice-of-life feature photos across our community, working on a different angle at events, with a camera in both hands at sporting events, always capturing the storytelling moments to share with our readers.
