I graduated college (<----still getting used to saying this). The last four years at WWU have been a surprising adventure. I came to college in a different state, knowing almost no one and had no idea what I wanted to study. Two and a half years ago, I found what I love doing; visual storytelling. The last couple sleep-deprived years have taken me on adventures into my community that I never would have experienced in any other area of study. Finding my passion has also amplified my motivation, and I am incredibly excited to embark on a new adventure next week when I move to Flint, MI for my next internship. Here is a set of catch-up images from random assignments over the last few months.
