Who Am I?

A passionate photographer and athlete whose main goal in life is to capture those memories or moments that we want to cherish forever. I've been in love with photography since I got my first phone with a camera and took a picture of a sunrise on snapchat. From there I began seeing potential images in everything from which my parents finally got me my first camera. I was a college athlete, I played basketball. My entire family plays or played basketball. I am the second youngest of 7 children so you can imagine the whirlwind that was my life growing up. I believe that cameras were given to us as a way for us as humans to appreciate both the little and big things, and that is what I try to show through my lens. I graduated with a Bachelors in Photography and then completed Digital Media and Media Analytics graduate certificates in grad school. So far I’ve been a photography intern for BGSU athletics, which is the athletic program at the college I go to, while continuing to improve my graphic design skills as well. I also worked as a photographer at JC Penny Portraits. I also do freelance photography on the side.
