Hello!
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 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 am a FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilot. I'm also a proud member of the Asian American Journalists Association, Diversify Photo and an Eddie Adams Workshop alumnus and current faculty member.
I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts in communication.
