Early Years

• Although it took along time to get used to the city and school I found that this change was for the better.

• I really got into diving in my middle school years.

The Future

• So far the future looks like me going to the Savannah College of Art & Design to major in Photography, other than that I can’t really say for sure. And that’s ok.

Global Issue

Awareness

• One of my favorite photographers and biggest influences is James Nathcwey. This is mainly because this man has brought to light some of the worst realities of the war, natural disaster, & other major issues our world has faced for the past 20+ years.

• What he does inspires me to show people how important it is to spread the word on issues. That way we help inform the world, to later find a resolution.
