Photography
From that time I was a professional photographer at The Daily Iowan, one of the top 10 college newspapers in the U.S. I learned so much and made so many new friends at this job. Before I started here, I had only basic experience with photography from high school internships and my parents’ hobbies. Through years of coaching and awesome collaboration with other photographers, I briefly picked up the art in an effort to make myself a better, more versatile journalist. I had a lot of fun along the way.
Here are some of my favorite shots.
