a little synergy...

goes a long way. So I’ve taken more than a decade of experience in international journalism—as a photographer and reporter—and applied these skills to communications for global health, relief and development organizations.

background...

After completing a Pew Fellowship in International Journalism (Fall 2000), where I reported on the forgotten war in Aceh, I continued to focus on post-Suharto Indonesia. Over the span of five years, I covered the nation’s transition to democracy: human rights and military reform, conflict in Aceh and West Papua, terrorist attacks in Bali, Islamic radicalism and environmental issues. I also picked up the language along the way.

Then the 2004 tsunami hit.

The scale of the disaster prompted me to put my in-depth knowledge of the region, network of local contacts, and language skills to use and I began working with NGOs involved in the recovery and reconstruction effort.

My career has evolved and expanded considerably. Yet I remain committed to the power of compelling photojournalism, reporting and writing to make a direct impact on timely and important issues. In addition to providing strong content for communications materials, I have a proven track record for media relations and outreach for the humanitarian aid, development and global health sectors:

• earthquake emergency medical aid response - Haiti
• health, livelihoods and tsunami recovery - Indonesia
• maternal mortality and child health - Afghanistan
• HIV/AIDS prevention and TB treatment - Kenya
• basic health development programs - Myanmar
• emergency response, Cyclone Nargis - Myanmar
• conflict and IDP crisis - Sri Lanka
• health system recovery - Sri Lanka
• earthquake emergency response - Indonesia
