Photo Editor, The Sharon (PA) Herald, a CNHI, LLC publication
Education/Where you learned to shoot: I graduated from Youngstown State University in 2019, majoring in journalism with a photography minor. I was the chief photographer at YSU’s student newspaper, The Jambar. My interest in photography started when I got my first phone with a camera in high school.
Number of years in photojournalism: Four years
What advice do you have for young professionals aspiring to become photojournalists?
Don’t worry too much about getting the best equipment right away. Focus on your skills first. A new mirrorless camera won’t make you a better photographer.
Be open to new things, and be ready to cover anything. You’ll be asked to cover assignments and shoot in settings you've never done before.
