After being a staff photographer at the Tufts Daily for four years, I finally wrote an article. It’s about a topic I’m close to, namely physical accessibility on the Medford/Somerville campus, but I wanted to tell the story of other physically disabled Tufts students, not just my own. You can read the article, which I did in collaboration with the investigative team editor Liam Knox, here. I’ve included some of the photos I took for it below, but the article features many more, as well as some amazing work by members of the Daily’s video and graphics teams.

This door to West Lab leads to the accessible route from the Science and Engineering Center to the third floor of Anderson and Robinson.
The Memorial Steps, an iconic Tufts landmark, and impassible barrier for students with mobility disabilities, leads from the Academic Quad to College Ave.
Stairs in Olin Language Center lead from the basement to the third floor. Fortunately, the building has an elevator as well.

Another event I photographed during 2017 first-year orientation: the Tufts Hillel Bagel Brunch. In addition to bagels, the event featured a staggering number of acapella groups, far more than pictured here. O-week at Tufts seems to be saturated in acapella, no matter your interest or where you go.
Another from the archive — Sarabande’s fall 2018 show. I shot that show a few months after I had back surgery and was still pretty early in my recovery. I felt uncertain about saying yes to taking photos of a dance show, because I knew it would require a lot of hurrying back and forth…
My friend Eliza and I went to Nahant Beach. Since it’s New England, the sun was way too hot and the water way too cold. We had a fun time anyway and left with beachy waves in our hair!
Rohit Bhargava, the author of bestselling business book Non-Obvious Megatrends, hired me to take some photos showing the book at Hotel Commonwealth in downtown Boston. Non-Obvious Megatrends was part of a campaign by Bedside Reading in which every room had a copy of the book and guests could bring it home with them for free…
