I worked with Todd Kenney, a massage therapist and personal trainer for this company taking pictures of him and the workspace for advertising purposes. Pictures can be found on the company's facebook page.
In high school, I was part of the school's agricultural program and a member of the National FFA Organization. When you're in the program, you have to have an ongoing project throughout your high school career known as a Supervised Agricultural Experience Program (S.A.E.P). I did a lot of small projects in my fours years but in my senior year I created a photo book about all the different types of projects you could do by going to other students homes and/or jobs to document and photograph them in action. I presented to book to the program advisors as something they could keep and use as a resource for helping students find an idea for a project.

No longer open, Chester College of New England was a small liberal arts college in Chester, NH where I completed my first two years of college. There, I studied for a BA in Photography and Media Arts until the school closed its doors due to a financial deficit in May 2012.
After Chester College closed, New Hampshire Institute of Art made a very generous offer and took in more than half the Chester population to continue their education in their desired fields. I graduated from the Institute on May 18th, 2014, earning my Bachelor's of Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography.
