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

Just a shy girl breaking out of her cocoon into a social butterfly who creates approachable<br />

advocates on their behalf.<br />
