About a week ago, I spent a good hour in the near-empty UF stadium climbing the bleachers and attempting to get a few shots with my Nikon D5000.
Here is what I got:
A man mowing the field in the noonday sun.

Construction workers inside the skeletal scoreboard.

A woman in the midst of an intense workout. She was carrying her 4-year-old son on her back.

And I got my first photo in The Independent Florida Alligator on June 30. Kites!
Hello There
I have ridden in a helicopter that has flown over Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, walked through corn fields out in the rural outskirts of town and sat in on a High Springs police active-shooter training. I have conversed with many people, from circus performers and authors to hackers and the local homeless. And, believe it or not, I actually take joy in covering City Commission meetings.
I am a college journalist at the University of Florida, and I have worked for The Independent Florida Alligator and The North Florida Herald in High Springs, Fla. I now work at the local news station, WCJB TV20, as an associate producer, and ABC News On Campus as a reporter.
I am currently hunting for more internship experience and freelance opportunities.
I also love to collaborate on creative projects, whether it be with music, poetry or fiction. If you need help editing a chapter of your short story or need a violinist for that piece you’re planning to play, I’m your gal.
