behind the Lense

I wasn't always a cool green-haired photographer...

In my former life I was a competitive cheerleader, special needs cheerleading coach, retail associate, graphic designer, and avoider of taking photos of people. I'm an social introvert that constantly puts myself into situations where extroverts thrive. 

Everything changed when the fire nation... when I lost my full time job in graphic design. I had to make a huge decision to either find another job that was "fine, because I'm good at it," or break into an industry that was calling to me, but really pushed me out of my comfort zone.
