As a native of Alabama who is now based in Louisiana, I bring a Southern perspective to every photograph and story I share. With over eight years of experience as a photojournalist and reporter, I’ve covered breaking news and captured pivotal moments across both states. Now, as an investigative reporter for Audiochuck, I focus on uncovering details and raising awareness about unsolved missing persons and homicide cases across the U.S.
