Multimedia Photojournalist Amie Dworecki began snapping pictures as a child, and started programming computers when she was just eight years old.
Formerly a Computer Design Engineer and a Senior Product Marketing Manager for Intel Corporation, she left a high-paying corporate lifestyle in 2001, selling almost everything she owned to follow her dream of traveling and pursuing a more fulfilling career.
Over the next two years, Amie traveled around the world capturing experiences on all seven continents using photography, video, and the web. Through this, she found her love of visual storytelling, began freelancing, and returned stateside to complete a Master's degree in Journalism.
For two years she was a course instructor to both graduate and undergraduate students for the Indiana University School of Journalism covering topics such as still photography, audio/video production and editing, and graphic and web design. Currently, she is a photojournalist/videographer and multimedia producer for the Cincinnati Enquirer. Multimedia Photojournalism is the perfect combination of her experience, education, and passion for the field.

Amie has a Master of Arts in Journalism focused on Photojournalism and Multimedia Communications from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette.
