Photography never seems to stop changing and it is always challenging me and is such a beautiful universal language.

I am fascinated by the idea of creating personalized approaches to targeting consumers through the understanding of their needs. With a background in visual communications, I rely upon combining marketing strategy and design theories to create visually appealing solutions.

My laboratory focus is on discovering practical solutions to modern quail and grassland bird problems and educating students to become leaders in the wildlife field.

Honestly, I struggle to put into words what the university and the CASNR faculty have done for me. Without the experiences and mentorship provided to me during my undergraduate experience, I would not have the confidence, connections, experience or leadership skills that I need in my professional career. The amazing feeling of knowing that they've got your back… there is no limit to the amount of gratitude I have for them. My mentors graduated there. I met my best friends there. It has shaped and molded my professional career. I am so very blessed and thankful to have chosen the College of Ag at East Texas A&M University.

Having a foundation of historical knowledge is critical to being a good teacher, but the knowledge is useless if it cannot be effectively communicated. Students should take every opportunity to develop these skills.

My passion is helping others be successful. Marketing is a blend of creative and analytical skills. I am working toward a career with non-profits where I can apply what I have learned in the College of Business.
