About

I've worked hard taking on 63 credit hours from Morgan Community College while also taking on a full load of high school classes. I will be graduating from Morgan Community College in May of 2016, along with Strasburg High school also in May of 2016. I buried myself in my studies working hard to obtain a 4.0 GPA, but I didn't lose sight of being a kids as well, I volunteered with many of my friends in photography, journalism, Santa's workshops, in the Elementary school, with special needs students, in the concessions, and on prom committee. I am very active in school I have tried nearly every activity offered from diversity club to track and field! I am a very determined individual and I will not give anything but my best. I have worked very hard in everything I've ever done and I am proud of myself and all that I've accomplished.

I love photography; I've taken senior pictures for 15 high school seniors, I've taken family pictures for 3 families, I've also taken wedding pictures, and I've been my brother's personal sports photographer for about 13 years now! Along with my love for photography I also have a big love for the outdoors; hiking, biking, camping, rock climbing, fishing, ect. I also love to work with special needs children, they bring such a joy into my life, I never feel like I am working when volunteering with the special needs.
