After an incredible summer at the Detroit Free Press covering community stories, I wanted to jump into my freshman year of college doing what I loved most: taking pictures.

Coming into this year, I wanted to improve upon what I had built and also translate my skills into something teachable to my peers and staff writers.
Taking pictures of River Rat Football at the Big House was the best way to start the year. I experimented with lens filters and my post-production process (shown on the left). Even though the team lost pretty badly, this opportunity showed me what I could truly accomplish this year.
A usually underappreciated contributor to football games, I dedicated time to follow the Huron band around, including to their first-ever invitational, where they performed their set to receive feedback from college band directors.
A long-awaited event, Multi-Culti opens the stage for clubs and other student-led groups to bring their respective cultures into the spotlight. I had the time of my life appreciating each and every performance onstage, and the crowd did too.

One of the goals of the men's hockey team was to win this citywide tournament. I dedicated myself to it, devoting the whole weekend to discovering who was the best team in Ann Arbor.

I am grateful for the experience I had during my first year in this publication. Thanks to my adviser and editors for the content I was allowed to create.
Even though Multi-Culti wasn't performed this year, APEX maintained the spectacle of their many cultures, through yo-yos, dances, and their ever-popular glowsticks. APEX Leaders teach and perform during practices, while also organizing bonding events and fundraisers.
Although it was a masked performance, the despair and the dramatics shone under the lights as the Huron Players hit a home run for their first stage production of the year. In the picture on the right, Mary Warren (played by sophomore Audrey Hargett) prays for salvation on her knees. This picture won First Place for Environmental Portrait in the 2022 MIPA Awards.
