But then, in an instant, the calm shifts into motion as the train arrives, the passengers board, and the train carries you forward. That balance between the intentionalContinue reading “Stepping into Global Strategy with the Japan International Practicum”

Five Ways to Overcome Writer’s Block in 2023
There is nothing more frustrating to me than a blank page. As a writer, I see it as either a page of possibilities or the most intimidating obstacle to overcome. The blinking cursor ticks like a timer, reminding me to hurry up and put something on the page. But as we speed into the endContinue reading “Five Ways to Overcome Writer’s Block in 2023”

The Atlanta Tourist: Julia
One of my good friends, Julia, drove up to see me last weekend. We spent most of our time running around Atlanta, shopping at different craft stores, and concocting different games for an upcoming party we’re planning. As much fun as I have crafting (and yes, we did knit for a bit!), I wanted toContinue reading “The Atlanta Tourist: Julia”
A New Lens on Life
It’s been a few years since I started my photography journey (thank goodness for Photojournalism class!), but I’ve never changed lenses. Since I graduated, I’ve used the same lens that came with my Canon kit. So on Friday, after talking to other local photographers and experts, I went to Aperturent and got a new lens.Continue reading “A New Lens on Life”
Pugs and Potables

I started a new position at Jim Ellis Automotive last June, where I serve as the Social Media and Reputation Manager for their corporate office. I’ve also added a few more freelance projects to my portfolio and just took the role ofContinue reading “Pugs and Potables”
Musician Portraits: Thomas
Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to do a portrait session for a local musician at Red Clay Theatre. This musician wanted to showcase the piano and violin and played onstage while I snapped away. Below are a few of the photos from the session.
The Year I Traveled
Our family called 2017 “the year of travel” because we all have been on the move each week. Most of my vacation time in college I spent working, either glued to the computer for The Plainsman or at my part-time job. But this year made up for the last four, allowing me to photograph different destinations and people along the way. I’ve learned different methods for editing photos, videos and scheduling social media content in between flights and trips.
My Charleston Adventures
It’s been nearly a month since I moved to Charleston, South Carolina, and I’ve been loving the city. There’s definitely plenty to see and do in the city–from museums to the market on Meeting Street to the nearby beaches–that I still find plenty to do each weekend. To get to know the city and itsContinue reading “My Charleston Adventures”
Final Video Project
For my Photojournalism final project in December 2016, I had the opportunity to interview and edit this VO/SOT about Andolyn Parrish, a student at Auburn University who is pursuing her dream of being a singer/songwriter. This is probably one of my favorite (and most difficult) video projects I’ve done so far. I had to syncContinue reading “Final Video Project”
