EDITORIAL EXPERTISE

Journalism has been one of the central threads of my professional life. My legal background taught me how to investigate complex questions, evaluate information, and communicate with clarity and confidence. Journalism became the field where I applied those skills through visual storytelling on television and digital platforms.

During my years with Court TV, I worked behind the scenes to identify and develop courtroom stories from across the country. I also appeared on air to provide context on cases, legal proceedings, and the stories unfolding outside the courtroom. The collection below features selected examples of that public-facing work and my approach to making complex legal subjects understandable, relevant, and engaging.

Today, my work spans marketing, photography, and yoga, but the principles of journalism continue to shape every project I pursue. They influence the questions I ask, the details I notice, and the care I bring to my interactions with others.

If you’re looking for a creative partner who can uncover the heart of your brand and shape it into clear, meaningful content—or a photographer who can translate your work, values, and presence into authentic visual stories—I’d love to collaborate.

writing & reporting

While most of what I wrote at Court TV was reporting and internal guidance for staff, I've also worked as a contributing writer and legal analyst for Court TV, In Session, CNN, and HLN. 

I’ve covered such high-profile cases as Derek Chauvin, Harvey Weinstein, Casey Anthony, Jodi Arias, Jerry Sandusky, George Zimmerman, and Depp v. Heard.

Examples of my published reporting include:
