On Tuesday May 4, 2016 I took part in Phoenix College's recognition of their 2016 Honor's Graduates. I am proud to say I was one of 57 Honor's Scholars and I had the honor of speaking at the event.

Recently, I had the opportunity to create a series of 10 images to hang in the Phoenix College Library. I was inspired by photographer Brandon Stanton who created "Humans of New York". Stanton takes portraits of New Yorkers and interviews them about parts of their life. I wanted to try a similar project with students at Phoenix College, the college I attend. My intention was to show off each subjects unique journey and personality while simultaneously creating a community of support among the students and viewers.
