Hello!
I'm Kylie, and I'm a photojournalist currently working at The Baltimore Banner as part of the 2023-2024 Poynter-Koch Media and Journalism Fellowship program.
I'm drawn to photojournalism because of an innate curiosity to understand our world and the people in it. I hope to find the extraordinary in ordinary life and show that everyone has a story worth sharing. As a Chinese adoptee, themes of belonging, identity and place are central to my storytelling.
Prior to joining the Banner as a fellow, I freelanced from my home in southeastern Massachusetts and was an intern at The Seattle Times and The Texas Tribune.
In May 2022, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts in communication. I'm a proud member of Asian American Journalists Association and Diversify Photo Up Next.
You can find my resume here.
