I am a full time photographer and sometimes videographer at the University of Calgary.
I also spent two wonderful years working with Fast Forward Weekly (FFWD) and Sophia Models International (formally Mode Models) in Calgary, Alberta.
I graduated from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT Polytechnic) with honours in Journalism Arts. I majored in photojournalism, a highly sought-after program that is limited to 16 seats per year. Along with photography, I studied writing, marketing, and graphic design.
I love photography and am interested in many other arts, especially film and animation. My other interests include different cultures, travel, and languages. I lived in the Czech Republic for five years where I learnt to speak my second language, Czech.
Awards
I won the 2009 Canadian Community Newspaper Association’s (CCNA) best series award in the Better Newspapers Competition for “The Future of the Oilsands,” a three part series on Fort McMurray published in Fast Forward Weekly.
I won a third place Association of Alternative Newsweeklies (AAN) award in the Editorial Layout category for “The Cinematic Sounds of Calgary’s Underground,” published in Fast Forward Weekly.
