In 2000, Hilary graduated from the International Center of Photography’s Documentary/PJ Program and later assisted the Maine Photo Workshops in Havana, Cuba. Compelled to share photography with local youth, she developed a photo library and directed the Havana Youth Photo course in 2003—sharing her passion for photography and educating a younger generation.

As a recipient of the ICP/Johnson and Johnson Fellowship in 2002 and 2004, Hilary completed assignments for Johnson and Johnson’s corporate social responsibility at the U.S.-Mexico border, then India and Vietnam. This led to subsequent assignments for NGOs.

Hilary’s curiosity, honesty, compassion and cultural sensitivity are reflected in her imagery.
