Social Media Intern @ Muskegon Lumberjacks
About
Communications & Journalism student who aims to pursue a career in Sports Digital Media, Sports Photography, and Sports Social Media Management. Since middle school, I have absolutely adored photography and have loved learning the ins and outs of operating a camera, settings, and editing. I love taking advice from my peers and inspirations and made it my goal to never stop learning and growing. I began taking photos for my dance studio as just a sophomore in high school; taking all photos for competition team showcase, recital, and even picture week for the studio in its entirety. I never knew that I wanted to pursue photography as a career. But as soon as I got to college and took my first communications course and had the chance to pick up my camera again for AQ Athletics, this feeling changed. I discovered a whole new realm of photography. I discovered that I loved sports photography - being in a fast-paced environment where you have no idea what could happen next. And after my communications course, I knew this was a field that would continuously peak my interest. My goal after college is to pursue a career in sports media - using my photography and social media experience to help advertise and market a sports team to its fans and the surrounding community. My communications degree will help to establish a firm grounding in public relations, communications, and social media. Dedicated to learning, growing, and staying passionate in my work.
