Marie D. De Jesús is a staff photojournalist for the Houston Chronicle, producing still and moving images in the United States’ fourth-largest city.

She has concentrated on developing relationships with the city’s diverse communities. Those connections have helped power some of the Chronicle’s strongest projects, including “Denied,” a six-month investigation that uncovered the systematic denial of special education services to children in Texas.

De Jesús was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2017 and won the Scripps Howard Foundation’s Public Service Award that year. She is a native of Puerto Rico and earned a bachelor’s degree in photography from the University of Central Florida in 2008.
