For starters, I am currently a student in the University of Wollongong (UOW) and taking the course Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies (BCMS). As I write in almost every (and I really mean every) about me page; I aspire to be a photojournalist or a journalist — a dream of mine is to have one of my photographs showcased on the National Geographic Magazine.

Apart from my academic side, I also have hobbies and interests. Ever since very young, I’ve always had an eye for photography — my earliest memory of it being sparked was when my dad wanted me to take a photograph of him on our (extremely) heavy Nikon film camera. Fast forward to now and I’ve come full circle as I have my own Nikon film camera; which luckily isn’t extremely heavy.
Creating different kinds of art other than taking photographs is also one of my many favourite past times. Other forms of medium include painting, drawing and digitally making art (Photoshop, Lightroom & InDesign).

I’ll probably add a page or post to showcase some of my artwork. In the meantime, that’s about… me.
