From shooting pictures and writing stories while in the Army to being the night-life blogger for the St. Petersburg Times, my life has taken me lots of interesting places so far. Photography and writing have been my passion for as long as I can remember so working as a reporter seemed like a natural fit for me. Through the years, I've picked up other skills like design, videography and public relations that have helped me be a more rounded journalist.  Like my photography, I strive for diversity in my writing style. I have experience in hard news, features, reviews and event coverage to name a few. I'm always looking for new and different ways to shoot and write and try to challenge myself with every endeavor.
