I’m a photojournalist and a fourth-year undergraduate student at the University of Georgia. By the end \"\"<\/a>of 2024, I will graduate with a bachelor’s degree in journalism with a minor in political science.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

I’m from Canton, Georgia, but I spent most of my life in a small, rural town in Texas.<\/p>\r\n

I fell in love with photography through my mother. She was a freelance photographer for some time and did graduation, wedding and family photoshoots. The photography gene was passed down to me, and I geared that gene toward telling stories of people in my community.<\/p>\r\n

I keep a photo website that features all of my photos throughout my freelancing career. Whether it was through photographing concerts at small venues or local events in my community, I aimed to tell stories through a lens.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I became interested in writing through my high school’s yearbook class. Having the ability to shoot photos and weave them with words was a powerful skill that I have been actively working on. This class led me down the journalism and further developed my storytelling skills.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
