I began my career as a press secretary on Capitol Hill, where in addition to media work, I was the lead photographer capturing official events and meetings. I also pioneered new live streaming and web hearing productions for a House Committee. In 2017, I founded DC Strings Workshop—a nonprofit organization which hosts an orchestra and ensembles that have performed at THE KENNEDY CENTER and numerous venues across the region. DC Strings is committed to bringing music to all parts of the region, particularly underserved communities and serving more than 500 youth annually.
