Writer
First I’d like to thank BOSS Magazine for giving me the opportunity to pursue my
passion for journalism and photography. I’ve been writing for as long as I could
remember. As a proficient daydreamer, I love channeling my thoughts and views
into pros, whether they concern major issues that have a resonating impact across
communities or simple things that fascinate proud nerds like myself. Digital
photography has been a fun and engaging challenge I never shy away from, capturing
a fragment of life before it disappears into time and space. Or maybe I’m just a big kid
who likes to play with expensive DSLRs, lighting, and equipment.

The Shy Advocate
Just a shy girl breaking out of her cocoon into a social butterfly who creates approachable
opportunities wherever she goes and shareshow to do it with other shy folks. She
loves creating environments that make it a lot easier for people (especially shy ones) to
initiate conversation with one another. So she plans events that encourages interaction
through ice breakers, activities and discussions. She has a soft spot for shy people and
advocates on their behalf.
