What spurred your interest in photography?

For Christmas one year, my mom bought me a camera and I started taking it around and taking pictures of everything.

 

Where are you from?

Nevada, Mo.

 

Why did you choose to come to Crowder?

It was cheaper and one of the schools that offered photography.

 

What are your plans after college?

Hopefully to start my own business in photography and travel with some of my photography.

 

Where would you like to take pictures?

Australia is my first choice because I love the animals. That’s my main destination.

 

What are your hobbies aside from photography?

Working and socializing with friends

 

Where do you work?

Del Rio in Joplin.

 

Do you like Del Rio’s food?

I like our food, but I definitely think authentic Mexican is way better. Plus, when you eat so much of it, it doesn’t taste as good anymore.

 

If you could have dinner with Donald Trump, what would you say?

I would tell him that I am not a fan of his and leave.

 

What is your favorite childhood memory?

First time getting up on waterskis at the lake.

 

Where would you most like to live?

I would probably live in either Michigan or St. Louis. That’s where all my family is and a bigger area to get my photography business out.

 

What is your favorite restaurant?

Olive Garden. I love Italian food.
