Vet School at Tufts Open House

University work: 

Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University hosted its first Open House in three years. Link here. Paused since 2019 due to COVID-19, Cummings School students, faculty, staff, departments, programs, and student organizations showcased programs and activities for all ages. The admissions office hosted campus tours and welcomed a full house at an information session for prospective students. Among the numerous offerings to discover and explore were displays and games at Tufts Wildlife Center, a visit and talk at the sheep barn, the Teddy Bear Clinic, Paws for People, and a unique role-playing venture titled ‘You be the Vet.’



Photography for Harpswell Foundation Cambodia

 The Harpswell Foundation has two dormitories in Phnom Penh that provide room, board and leadership training to up to 80 young women while they attend university. The foundation invited me to live and use photography to tell the stories of their students during my last visit to Cambodia. During that time, I attended classes, study sessions and performances alongside the women as well as sharing meals, music and relaxation. Soon enough, I was accepted as another inhabitant and permitted to photograph freely. One of the highlights was a trip to one student’s rural home village, where I met and photographed her with her farmer parents and her younger sister, who also aspired to attend university. The images I shot were used mainly to liven up Harpswell’s website and bring it to life with spontaneous, emotion-filled, storytelling images.
