Hi there! My name’s Mandie Garcia – I’m a photojournalist and artist with over a decade of experience working in T.V. news and creative direction. I’m currently based in Bristol, UK, but I spent a lot of my time working in Washington DC, Amman, Jordan, and my home state of Texas.

I graduated with a broadcasting degree from Texas State University and launched my career working with local news outlets throughout the Austin area. I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work across different forms of media. I have a background in radio news reporting, creative production for nonprofit organizations, and investigative journalism. My art and reporting always showcase themes of human rights issues and politics due to my extensive background working in international, multilingual media.

After working as a videography instructor in the Austin, TX school district for two years, I completed Arabic language programs at the University of Houston and the Sijal Institute in Amman, Jordan. I spent most of 2018 living in Amman, Jordan working as creative director for the Wishbox Media company – a local media agency. I am listed in the acknowledgement section of the nonfiction book “Voices of Jordan,” by New York Times journalist Rana Sweis, due to my photography and research. Other past work includes International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, United States Agency for Global Media, Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Austin Media Awareness Project and Battleground Texas.

Currently based in Bristol, UK. Available for hire as a photographer and creative producer. Email for inquiries: garcia.mandie@gmail.com
