Some of my other passions...

Psychology: (I'm currently pursuing my PhD at Clemson University in South Carolina in Industrial-Organizational Psychology!) This website is primarily devoted to only one aspect of me: my art and my artistic side.  Truly though, what I want to do for the rest of my life centers around a field called Industrial/Organizational Psychology.  My ambition is to become a PhD. in that field.  I have always had a deep desire to help others, it was more a matter of how can I best use my talents and minimize my weaknesses to help the largest number of people?  I honestly feel that this is what I was meant to do, improve lives by doing research, etc. “People spend the majority of their lives at work, searching for work, or contemplating work.”  -Anonymous  While I still maintain curiosity for all parts of psychology, I-O draws me like no other.

My family and my friends: All of you who have helped make me the person I am today deserve more than I can give or say in simple things like words, especially my mother.  My family's support is invaluable, thank you all for it.  My employers and coworkers, thank you for believing in me, trusting me, and investing in my future.  The support I have received in every choice I make is remarkable and I know how very lucky I am.  Thank you to a great many others, too many to mention, you know who you are.

The outdoors, traveling, and new experiences in general: A lot of my photography centers around my love of the outdoors and nature.  I am a happier person when I have spent time outside recently!  Traveling is something I have not done much of, but I adore it and can't wait to do more of it in the future.

Technology: Computers have been a part of my life since I was very young.  I am no expert and never really want to be, but I do love the things it can do for me and gaming, etc.  I love my digital camera, and I can't imagine life without it!  I love to dabble in the different manipulations I can do to my artwork digitally.  I like being able to maintain my own site with some small level of proficiency.  It's just fun to have one machine make so much possible.

I love life: the opportunities it affords you, as well as the learning experiences along the way.
