In high school, I was determined to find a creative outlet to share with friends. That's when I joined the student government, and an opportunity arose to explore photography and videography for the school. I decided to give it a shot, and I fell head over heels for this craft, and suddenly, it was all I could think about. Yearbook was next on my list of classes to take, and I excelled, feeling one step closer to my post-high school self.

After graduating, I followed the path that seemed to be expected of me - nursing. I applied to various nursing programs, but despite my high GPA, I wasn't receiving any acceptances. Photography became my creative refuge as I awaited a potential nursing school admission the following year. Just for fun, I started sharing my work on Instagram, and within a month or two, inquiries started pouring in. And now, here I am, living a dream job I never knew I wanted.
