My Story
On days when school was out when I was in middle school, especially during the summer, I found myself having nothing to do. My parents worked a lot at this point in my life so, it was just my two dogs, my older sister, and myself at the house during the afternoons. One day over the summer, I found my mother's Canon DSLR and I played with it all day, taking pictures of my two dogs. This is when my burning passion for photography ignited.
Once I began high school, I created highlight videos for my school's basketball team. After basketball season I decided video was not for me and I quit creating highlight reels. However, I wanted to stay involved with the team by creating content so I began focusing on photos. I quickly discovered I was much better at telling stories in this format.
I knew I wanted to continue sports photography in college. Once I got to the University of Missouri, I began working for Mizzou Athletics, where I worked all four years I was a student. My first three years I covered every sport. My senior year, I stepped into a leadership position as the lead photographer for Mizzou gymnastics, soccer, and tennis where I led a small group of younger interns, led media days and recruit shoots, as well as covering home and away games.
After graduating, I joined the St. Louis Cardinals photography staff where I now help cover homes games, events, ceremonies, and more!
