But it wasn’t until 2001, when the high school journalism professor spotted my talents and transformed me from a creative writer to a reporter. It was then my love affair with this profession began. I was fortunate enough to attend the Dow Jones Minority Workshop in 2002 that gave me a better understanding of the profession, its demands and challenges.
It also allowed me to explore other aspects of the field that I would excel at. It was at this workshop I was inspired by the guest photographer and his amazing gift of capturing moments. His work is still fresh in my mind and a constant inspiration to improve my skills.
My professional career is just beginning but it has been an amazing journey so far. I am passionate about being a journalist and every aspect of the newspaper industry.
Throughout college my main emphasis has been on writing, but I also indulged in photography and design. I graduated early from college, but I spent my time like an energetic octopus on rollerblades taking advantage of the vast opportunities student life provided. I worked extensively with the college media to improve my writing skills and learn new technologies and explore dying arts like dark room techniques.
I would love to hear your feedback, criticism and input on all my work and hope you will take the time to leave a note.
