I grew up outside of Chicago and received my A.A.S. degree in Photography from College of Dupage. When a job working in the lab at Sun Publications in Naperville, Illinois opened up I had no idea how it would change my life. It was there I found a strong passion for community and social journalism that brought me to Western Kentucky University to finish my Bachelor’s degree in Photojournalism and New Media.
My work has been recognized by the National, Illinois and Kentucky Press Photographers Association’s along with the Illinois Associated Press Editors Association. I have been recognized in the College photographer of the year competition and honored to attend the Eddie Adams Workshop Barnstorm XXI. In 2009 I was named Illinois Student Photographer of the year and in 2010 received an Honorable in the Illinois Photographer of the Year Competition.
