I once rode a mammoth. When I was 8 I went to “walking with dinosaurs” at the staples center with my family and got to ride a robotic mammoth. Photography has always piqued my interest but it wasn’t until my senior year of high school when I decided to join journalism and take a role in the line of work. As a photographer in training my goal is to capture amazing memories for not only myself but also for our Van Nuys High School community. I want to make this year special and capture moments we can look back on. I hope to use the skills I am already good at and apply them to this new interest of mine to expand my skills.
