    My photojournalism is represented by Zuma Press, started by photojournalists for photojournalists, now the world’s largest independent press agency and wire service.

    Images from medical missions include cleft lip and palate repair, public health, dentistry and remote mobile surgery. I have accompanied medical and service teams in 14 missions.
