She has also contributed to "Out of the Phone", the world's first Instagram photo book, which garnered attention from The Guardian and L'Oeil de la Photographie, in addition to receiving CNN's editor's choice. She has a photo featured in David Gibson's "100 Great Street Photographs", and is a member of the 14&15 Mobile Photographers collective, on Instagram.
