About Mariah
I'm a producer and recent grad of the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies. I'm looking for opportunities to build on my experience researching, reporting, and producing bold and compelling stories.
Prior to attending Salt, I grew up in central Maine and graduated from the University of St Andrews with a degree in International Relations & Middle East Studies.

The Only Port of Call
In the early days of the pandemic, the easternmost town in America was divided. The CDC had issued a No Sail Order for all US cruise ships, which left the 785’ Oceania Riviera looking for a port to call home. With the deepest natural port in the continental states, the tiny fishing town of Eastport, Maine seemed like the perfect solution. But not everyone was ready to welcome the Riviera to town.
The Four Rules of Sun Oriental Market
Sun Oriental Market in Portland, Maine takes pandemic safety seriously. But for owner Sejong Park, enforcing the rules hasn’t been easy.
When Was the Last Time You Cried?
Last summer, between the pandemic, the upcoming election, and protests for racial justice, it was easy to feel overwhelmed. One evening, I went to the Western Promenade in Portland, Maine to check in on the sunset watchers. I asked everyone the same question: when was the last time you cried?
