“IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME FRESHMAN YEAR THAT I WOULD BE CHASING JORDAN POOLE AND THE MICHIGAN BASKETBALL TEAM
AROUND A COURT IN WICHITA, KANSAS AND THEN SPEND THE NEXT 15 HOURS (AND MANY RED BULLS) DRIVING BACK TO ANN ARBOR,
THEN SPEND 6 HOURS MAKING A NEWSPAPER, THEN SOMEHOW MAKING IT BACK TO MY BED, I WOULD HONESTLY NOT BELIEVE YOU.
BECAUSE I STILL FIND HARD TO BELIEVE TODAY ALL OF THE INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCES, FRIENDS, MEMORIES AND SKILLS I HAVE GAINED
OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS BECAUSE OF MY TIME ON PHOTOSTAFF. IT’S NOW HARD TO BELIEVE THAT MY TIME HERE ON PHOTOSTAFF IS OVER,
BUT I KNOW IT WAS TIME WELL SPENT, AND EVEN THOUGH I MIGHT NOT BELIEVE THE MEMORIES SOMETIMES, I WILL NEVER FORGET THEM.”
“WORKING AT THE DAILY FOR THE PAST YEAR HAS BEEN AMAZING. BEING ON THE PHOTO TEAM HAS GIVEN
ME SO MANY UNIQUE EXPERIENCES THAT I'M SO THANKFUL FOR. IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO
SAY GOODBYE.”
“I’VE BEEN SUPER FORTUNATE TO SHOOT NEARLY EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
AND DO IT REPRESENTING THE DAILY. I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS WALKING
INTO WHEN I JOINED, BUT I COULDN’T HAVE HOPED FOR MORE. FROM MY FIRST
EVENT TO MY LAST, I’M PROUD TO CALL THIS NEWSPAPER MY HOME.”
“THE DAILY HAS BEEN A SPACE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR ME, A PLACE TO MEET INTERESTING PEOPLE AND WHERE I
FOUND SOME OF MY DEAREST FRIENDS HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY. I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE MEASURED CHAOS OF THE
NEWSROOM, ITS COMMUNITY AND HOW IT SERVES THE ANN ARBOR COMMUNITY AT LARGE.”
“SPENDING THE LAST THREE YEARS AS A PHOTOJOURNALIST FOR THE DAILY HAS BEEN A BLESSING. FROM THE
FIRST WOMEN’S MARCH ON ANN ARBOR IN 2017 TO THE HASH BASH WHEN RECREATIONAL CANNABIS IN MICHI-
GAN WAS LEGALIZED, I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE HELPED CAPTURE KEY MOMENTS OF THIS UNIVERSITY AND ANN
ARBOR’S HISTORY. MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE EVENTS I’VE COVERED, HOWEVER, ARE THE PEOPLE I’VE MET
THROUGHOUT MY JOURNEY. I’M GRATEFUL FOR MY FELLOW PHOTOGRAPHERS AND EDITORS WHO HAVE CHAL-
LENGED MY PERSPECTIVES, AND I’M THANKFUL THAT I COULD CONTINUE GROWING IN PHOTOGRAPHY EVEN AS A
SENIOR. I’LL FOREVER CHERISH MY TIME HERE AT THE DAILY, AND I’M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT WILL COME NEXT.”
