Working here gives me the chance to photograph and share the liveliness of campus life at UW Oshkosh. My job duties vary from day to day. Some days I’ll be running around photographing campus events while on other days I’ll only be editing photos at my desk.

I started my career as a preschool teacher in inner-city Chicago, but after my children were born I took some time off to raise them. When my youngest son started kindergarten, I decided it was time for me to get back to my passion — teaching."

Business was booming in 2000, but then September 11, 2001, brought production to a standstill. I had taken some business courses here and there from other colleges and universities, but the experience was not very rewarding. That changed when I enrolled at UW Oshkosh."
