  Interning for Valparaiso University, I worked directly under the University Relations Director Reggie Syrcle. I was given a list of events for the semester that were required to photograph. Homecoming, select basketball games, cross-country meets, and a town hall event with Gov. Mitch Daniels were among those. Along with that list, I would receive emails of events that would come up on short notice that I would be requested to photograph. The images I shot were for the primary use of the University in the Valparaiso Magazine or other publications. Show less
