How did you become a professional photographer?

I became a professional sports photographer with the support of my mom who is a family photographer. I love sports and started taking the camera with me to take a pics at local sports events and the rest is history!

What are your interests besides photography?

My other interests are sports and sports media, shopping and doing activities outdoors!

Why are sports pictures your favorite?

Sports pictures are my favorite because I LOVE taking action shots! 

What is your dream sporting event to photograph?

My dream sporting event to photograph would probably be a Penn State HOME football game or a New York Yankees baseball game!

If you weren’t taking pictures of sports, what would you be taking pictures of?

If I wasn't taking pictures of sports I probably wouldn't be taking pics at all just because I like photographing sports so much. In the future though, I plan to focus more on sports media and social media marketing in sports rather than photographing it.
