MA graduation Corcoran

This past weekend I graduated from the Corcoran College of Art and Design! I finished my MA in New Media Photojournalism, and I am so proud of all of the work that I did over the past two years on Deserts in the District.

Over the course of my two year MA program, I wanted to focus on finding environmental stories in Washington, DC: the man who petitioned to have a rooftop garden built on top of his apartment building, the homeless woman who volunteered at an urban farm. After the first year of documenting environmental stories, I realized that the issue at the heart was food access and hunger, which culminated in a series of short-form documentary videos, photo essays and written copy examining the city’s approach to feeding low-income communities.

I learned about other amazing projects while doing research for my thesis, such as AMERICA STREET people’s short and Food Desert: A Film.

I am so grateful to everyone who shared their stories with me for this project, and huge thanks to those who taught me everything I know.

What a great start to an exciting spring! This past week, the Corcoran Association of Photojournalists presented their third pop-up show. reCAP at the Corcoran was last Wednesday during Uncorked, and it was the first time that members were able to show their videos in a mini film festival. This past Saturday and Sunday, graduating New Media Photojournalism students presented their theses to the public in all-day presentations. Mine was on Saturday, and I got great feedback and praise! Last night was the ceremony for the 128th Annual Corcoran Awards and I was presented with the 2013 Outstanding Achievement in Leadership Award. It’s been a great week!

Don’t forget to check out my thesis video if you haven’t already; I’d love more feedback.
