As the intern for the Daily Pilot’s photo department, I’ve had the

privilege of working with a talented group of people who are always

teaching me and encouraging me to take advantage of great photo

opportunities in and outside the community. At the start of the fall

semester I began working as the photo editor for the USC student

newspaper, the Daily Trojan. The photo staff here adamantly told me

what a great opportunity I had, especially in terms of sports access.

I take the advice of my mentors with me everywhere I go, and when USC

played Oregon State University I was ready and looking for a

portfolio shot. In reviewing my work after the game, I found a shot

that my mentors and I could be proud of.
