I am currently working towards the next stage in my career. I spend most of my time learning new skills, reading and hearing people’s stories, planning my next adventure, and traveling all over the place.

Projects
I photographed Athens events such as the Athens Music Awards, Sunflower Festival, AthFest Music Festival, and Rush Week for the University of Georgia. I have photographed merchandise for the Red Zone, a University of Georgia apparel store. I also take pictures of important people in my life and beautiful places around the world for my personal photography portfolio.

During my time at the University of Georgia, I wrote media-related essays about CNN and media in politics.
Essays
During Summer 2016, I interned for Weddings in Athens, an online blog about Athens weddings, wedding planning, and Athens wedding venues and vendors. I brainstormed and researched creative blog posts like what cocktails to serve depending on the theme and where to celebrate in the Classic City of Athens.
