About Me
I am a freelance photographer and graphic designer. I first became interested in photography through taking pictures at family events and reunions. I am currently part of the AV & Communications Team at my church, where I am responsible for creating flyers, videos, and countdowns for church events. In my free time, I enjoy creating digital artwork, which I refer to as digital collage art or surreal art.

I would prefer to work from home, as I am most comfortable there, but I recognize that part of my job in the photography industry requires me to interact with others. If I am unable to work from home, then I would greatly appreciate clear and concise communication, as well as patience. I sometimes have difficulty understanding directions or forgetting to do something, and I would appreciate it if people would be patient with me as I adjust to the task.
