As a student in the School of Journalism and Communications here at the University of Oregon, I plan on utilizing my former and new found skills to make connections and gain opportunities that will further my career in both Journalism and Photography. Within the past seven to eight months, I have been photographing recreational sports and activities. However, I plan to soon move to the big stage and begin photographing semi-pro and pro sports games including football and basketball. Within the years to come, I hope to gain more experience with writing articles and taking photos in order to gain more connections after I graduate.
