From 2022 to 2023, I worked on multiple assignments for The Arizona Republic/azcentral.com, covering the Phoenix metro housing crisis. Unaffordable housing, ineffective housing programs, homelessness and hotter summers were themes that permeated the area. Most memorable was the intimate opportunity I had to photograph "The Zone" just days before the start of its removal.

This classroom photo assignment documenting a Phoenix shelter cat inspired an ongoing personal project explaining how cats colonized the city. Arizona's climate allows cats to breed year-round, leading to a proliferation of strays in the valley. I am developing a video explaining the urban cat ecosystem of feral, stray, and house cats and the intricate network of initiatives supporting and rescuing them.

A vigil was held for Red Mountain High School senior Jeremiah Aviles, who was found shot dead just weeks before graduation.
For this assignment, I was assigned as a still photographer. However, when I arrived on the scene, my editor called and asked me to film video as well. I did not have a microphone or tripod with me.
