I spent a summer in Tanzania with non-profit organization World Learning as the Digital Media Fellow for their program The Experiment in International Living, a cultural immersion program for high school students of all economic backgrounds. For five weeks, I traveled with my group of 12 American high school students throughout Tanzania, where I shot photos & videos, and blogged about their experiences. My footage was used for marketing purposes to increase application interest for the Tanzania trip.

This has been one of my favorite jobs ever. I loved getting to use with my camera on a daily basis, often working in conditions like unpredictable weather (dust storms) and a lack of electricity. However, this pushed me to become creative and selective about my shooting opportunities. When I started, I felt unsure of my camera abilities, but I felt my skills exponentially grow throughout the 60 days of the trip. I hope to be able to find more opportunities that allow me to shoot in the field often.
