i'm just loving life and taking photos.

being engaged is the best feeling ever.

i just want to express and create, and i want to be really good at it.

there's always room for improvement.

i get jealous of other people's pictures very easily, but then do my best to do even better.

i just want to be myself, do what i love, be with who i love.

I'm a student at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and am double majoring in Journalism and Art, both with emphases regarding photography.

My recent photojournalism classes have been amazing, challenging, and have totally altered how I look at the world around me. Finding interesting people, places, moments, and stories has been hard for me so far, but the struggle is entirely worth it in the end.

It's amazing how taking a good photograph can totally change your mood.
