Profile
I’m currently a high school senior already accepted to attend Art Institute of California - San Diego for
Fall 2014.
Mission
I am lucky to have known what I wanted to do with my life from an early age—to become a professional
photographer. Traveling and experiencing nature was what our family did, and along the way my dad gave me
cameras and taught me the basics of photography: lighting, composition, exposure. So at the age of 17, I
already have a substantial body of work to my credit. My goal is to keep learning and shooting. Photography
is my passion.

side works as well).

It was important to myself and my family that my primary focus be on school (and photography!) but I have

Every year I adopt a family for Christmas through an organization that helps abused women and their
families get out of bad or harsh situations, and we get them things they want and need and allow them to
have a good Christmas.
