In college I had no idea what I wanted to study, so I took a broad selection of classes to try and figure out what I should do for the rest of my life.  To get my art credit out of the way, I took photo 1 and instantly fell in love with photography (took it in highschool and my teacher wanted us to do yearbook photography with having little to no creative outlet minus documenting life around highschool... all in all it was lame).  I continued to take every single photo class at Loyola University Chicago, while also taking opportunities as the fine arts/theater department photographer as well as be the photo editor for the Loyola Phoenix Newspaper (won 2nd best news photo in Illinois for weekly publications).  I am trained in a variety of photographic styles and since graduating with a BA in communication and photography I'm working on getting my freelance career started and will do anything to find an opportunity to live off of my camera bag.
