I am a 22-year-old recent graduate of Indiana University seeking full-time employment as a photojournalist at a newspaper, wire service or online publication. Currently, I am an intern at the Peoria Journal Star in Illinois.

This spring, I received the Indiana Associated Press Will Counts Photojournalism Award, a honor given to the state’s top young photojournalist.

At college, I worked for the Indiana Daily Student and the IU School of Journalism. I also freelance for the Indianapolis Star. My internships include the Austin American-Statesman, the South Bend Tribune, the Bloomington Herald-Times and The Commercial Review.

My work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Indianapolis Star, Le Monde, Boston Globe, Detroit Free Press, Sacramento Bee, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Washington Times, Honolulu Advertiser, Louisville Courier-Journal and Houston Chronicle via The Associated Press wire. In addition, my work has appeared in MSNBC’s The Week in Pictures.

I am a member of the National Press Photographers Association, the Indiana Press Photographers Association and SportsShooter.com. In 2006, I advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout in my local Boy Scouts of America troop.

In February, I was named the 2009 Indiana College Photographer of the Year. I was also selected as a member of the 2009 UWIRE 100, a list of the country’s top 100 college journalists.
