Hello!

Photo by Sydney Walsh

I'm Kylie, and I'm a staff photojournalist at Reuters based in Washington, D.C.

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 fellow in Reuters's New York City bureau. Prior to joining Reuters, 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 board member of the AAJA Photojournalism 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, at a concert, or looking for a sweet treat.
