About

I have worked as a black and white photography lab technician with hands on experience working with students and mixing photography chemistry.

As a Visual communications major I also received large amounts of hands on experience in the graphic design field including print shops.

My goal is to become a published writer but I wish to continue my work in the art and design field.
