I am a photojournalist at The Gazette. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Journalism — Sko Ducks! After graduating, I interned and worked at newspapers across the country, including in Texas, Nebraska and South Carolina. What I love about being a photojournalist is getting to know people in my community and telling their stories through pictures. I am a sports fanatic, so sports photography is one of my favorite subjects to shoot, but I also am passionate about in-depth photo stories and community features. When I am not at work, I am hanging out with my two dogs and going on road trips! View our Photos and Videos page
