Hi, I’m Seth!

I'm currently a freelance writer and student. My current works in progress include an article analyzing strategic image in international relations and a review of the effects of digital media use on the individual and overall society. I found my way into this field through my career as a U.S. Marine Corps combat photographer. As soon as I started my enlistment, I began taking on roles in communication strategy and public affairs. I helped to develop novel approaches to organizational development, communication strategy, and content production across four continents and over a dozen countries. I worked extensively with local populations and leaders to build efficient and effective programs for humanitarian aid and disaster relief, U.S. military operations, and crisis communication.
I became known for applying a strategic approach and a deep understanding of the audience to my projects, constantly updating my skills and increasing my knowledge to improve my craft. I won awards in animation, photography, and videography, and have published visual and written media in hundreds of news outlets globally, including features in Reuters, Business Insider, and USA Today. During this time, I also attained a professional certificate in digital marketing fundamentals from the University of Edinburgh, followed by a professional certificate in advanced social media strategy from Syracuse University.
I left the Marine Corps in 2022 to pursue higher education at Harvard University, where I study the bridge between international relations, psychology, and public policy. Though I no longer do photography professionally, I love to take my camera on my adventures and still take clients from time to time. In my free time, I can often be found working on my writing with my girlfriend, Alexa, or hiking the trails of New England with my dog, Zyma.
