  • Personal Statement

    I strive to capture and create something beautiful.

    I’m want to share things I find intriguing, the ordinary and the extraordinary. I am a photojournalist, currently working for The Daily News in Longview, WA. I received my communication degree from Pacific Lutheran University in May 2019. I enjoy capturing truth and emotion in photographs and telling people's stories through journalism.
