As lead photography assignment editor for Bloomberg News' COVID-19 coverage for the US and Mexico, I directed and coordinated photographers documenting the pandemic as it unfolded. Working under extraordinary circumstances, I oversaw assignments, assessed risks, and prioritized photographer safety while navigating rapidly changing conditions. I worked to secure access to hospitals, businesses, government officials, and communities, enabling photographers to document the pandemic's human, social, and economic impact. The resulting photography reached audiences worldwide through Bloomberg News and its syndication partners, contributing to the visual record of an unprecedented moment in history.
