My work has always defined me in some form or fashion. In my career and freelance work, I am a storyteller. Each client has a different audience and the methodologies to reach the target audience(s) can vary. As a photographer, I enjoy capturing the details, as well as the big picture. The ability to relive a feeling through an image is my goal for each shoot, specifically weddings. I began working at the age of fourteen and given my diverse employment opportunities throughout the years, I find it easy to adapt to varying situations and/or audiences.
Education & Experience
My most recent time has been spent in venue management floating between a variety of venues including amphitheaters, arenas, midways, ballparks, exhibit halls, rodeo arenas, and conference centers. Additionally, I have twenty-two years of experience including tourism, hospitality, entertainment, retail, finance, and, primarily, non-profit management. I obtained my B.A. in Communication Studies from Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia.
I reside in Southwest Georgia with my significant other and our dogs.
