I'm just a girl that is obsessed with sports and sports photography. I love capturing moments for athletes, coaches, and fans that will last a lifetime! I graduated from Davenport University with my Bachelors in Business Administration with a specialty in Sports Management in April of 2019 and in May of 2021, I graduated with my Master's in Business Administration. I am in my 9th year working for Davenport Athletics and my second year as the Manager of Athletic Facilities and Events. I am a self-taught photographer and graphic designer. I have been the Davenport Baseball Team Photographer since spring 2017 and have been their Social Media Coordinator since spring of 2019.
My dream and goal is to become a full-time team photographer for a professional baseball or football team or to be a photographer for a university athletics department. My favorite sports to shoot are baseball and football, but I also enjoy shooting hockey, lacrosse, volleyball, basketball, and tennis. I also have experience shooting wrestling, soccer, cheer, STUNT, rugby, and water sports.
