Hello!

Distinctions
I'm Kylie, and I'm a freelance photojournalist based in southeastern Massachusetts near Boston, MA and Providence, RI. I'm happy to travel throughout New England and beyond for assignments.
I'm drawn to photojournalism because of an innate curiosity to understand the complexities that make up our world. As a Chinese transracial adoptee, themes of found family, identity and home are central to my storytelling.
Before this, I was a year-long photo fellow at The Baltimore Banner through the Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship program. I have also interned at The Seattle Times and The Texas Tribune.
I'm a proud member of the Asian American Journalists Association and Social Media Co-Director of the AAJA Photo Affinity Group. I'm also a member of Diversify Photo and an Eddie Adams Workshop alumnus and current faculty member. I am a FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilot.
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts in communication.
In my free time, you'll find me knitting, reading (sometimes at the same time!) or on a long walk.
