My passion for communication and media began when I was a high schooler. I decided to major in English Translation as an undergraduate student. I mustered up all my courage and efforts to master my language skills. I then applied for a Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While there, volunteering for radio stations which facilitated my way of being admitted to the journalism graduate program at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. There, I was news director at KVSC 88.1 FM and produced a lot of podcasts and audio packages as well as written stories. I also gained a lot of hands-on experience in video-shooting and editing by reporting for the school's television station i.e. UTVS. I dare to say that my skills are as competitive as that of a reporter for a public/private television or radio station. In nutshell, I can report and produce stories and documentaries on my own for radio and television as well as print.

As someone who came to this country from India, I try to reveal parts of America that may seem ordinary to many at first but that, once exposed, touch the soul. I strive to bring intimacy and beauty to every story that I cover – whether in still or video photography, print or online. This point of view has served me well as I have built a strong track record for both enterprise work and breaking news stories in the communities where I have worked. Before coming to Arizona, I worked in Georgia for nine years. While there, I documented the lives of migrant farmworkers and followed the state National Guard, who was at the time preparing for war in Iraq. I traveled to Iraq twice and also responded to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, where I was part of a Pulitzer Prize winning team covering the gruesome aftermath of the storm. Now here at the Arizona Republic, I am currently working on a number of projects in addition to my daily assignments. I am working to tell the stories of undocumented Mexican families juxtaposed with the frequent use of excessive force by the Border Patrol and the complexity of the movement to reform immigration laws and policies. Our in-depth project has put a lot of pressure on the Department of Homeland Security and I believe it is part of the reason that they have written a new book of policies on how to respond to migrants encountered in the desert. I have also been asked to cover a number of ongoing social issues including Arizona’s embattled Child Protective Services department, laws that target the LGBTQ community and heroin use in our region. These special projects often require me to dedicate personal time in order to do them justice, but the work is worthwhile as it feeds my passion for the craft of photojournalism and telling compelling stories.ACHIEVEMENTS AND AWARDS Rocky Mountain Emmy Award 2011-2012 - “Saving Arizona's Children" Pulitzer Prize for Public Service Part of the 2006 (Biloxi, Miss.)
