MY PROFESSIONAL JOURNEY

Movie Theater

As Cinéopolis, one of the theaters I was writing about was empty, I chose to supplement the emptyness of it with the shadowy figures as a way to bring out the tough COVID-19 times.

Movie Theater Tickets

Another photo from cinépolis, I wanted to show this alternate way of purchasing tickets, as it shows the context of the situation quite well.

Fire Danger

On the way to Big Basin, where I was traveling to get some good pictures for my Feature, "A Decade of Wildfires", I came across a CalFire outpost and had the perfect opportunity for a great photo.

Burned Trees at Big Basin

One of the many pictures I took of some burned and charred logs at Big Basin Park, CA. I went all the way out to Big Basin just to take these photos, which shows my dedication to some of my projects.

Cartoon

A cartoon I drew depicting California's wildfire issue. Smokey Bear trying to extinguish the fire could represent all the firefighters and first responders who risk their lives trying to stop California, which is already a dry state (hence the cardboard) from burning.

Great Plates Delivered

A simple render I created to represent some of the meals delivered to seniors with Great Plates Delivered. This new method of photo producing could also show my ability to be creative and think of new ways of expression and journalism.

Local Parks

A photo I took of Mirada Surf, a San Mateo County Park. Shows my ability of staying local.

Red vs Orange

People begin to settle into restaurants more with newer COVID-19 restrictions that were less restrictive. I thought that this picture perfectly encapsulated the times because the pandemic was still there even though life was almost back to pre-COVID times.

Red vs Orange

Another instance of more people starting to settle back into downtown San Carlos. While the people are there again, the barriers still showed the pandemic.

Red vs Orange

I think that this photo shows the emptyness still present even though there are less restrictive COVID-19 tiers. The great sky and composition also display my photography skills.

Back to School

Carlmont's students started going back to school on April 5. This photo demonstrates the uncertainty about the whole concept.

Local Restaraunts

This photo again illustrates the emptyness still present even though COVID regulations had changed, which made it difficult for local restaurants to stay afloat.

Lunch Lines

In this picture, I utilized my Photoshop abilities, which have become more useful through the journalism program, to show the difference between a full and an empty lunch line.

Student Business Enterprises

For this feature photo, I was not able to ultilize a picture of anything, as the group I was writing about was fully online. Thus, I tried to express this through digital art. I think it shows the real connections that nonprofits and students of the group had.

Math Contests

As there were no math contests coming up in the time I was writing about them, I had to improvise. I believe I was able to capture the spirit of the contest without being there in person.

Students with Friends

I wanted to capture the spirit of the meeting in this picture. This is another example of my Photoshop abilities, as I had to merge two photos to get the desired result.

COVID-19 Test Plan

For this image, I wanted to simulate the COVID-19 testing process, but I didn't have access to a physical site to photograph. To make due during the pandemic, I put on gloves and a COVID-19 test I had at home and made a mockup of the scenario to best demonstrate the situation.

Nature's Role in a Digital World

I created this photoshop artwork to perfectly represent how we could benefit from nature instead of solely relying on technology. To do this, I utilized software to simulate the cracked screen, add in the plant, and create the shadow.

Point Lobos: Nature's Role in a Digital World

This photo was a picture in my series of photos to demonstrate nature's beauty and why we should care about it and protect it to the best of our ability.

In one of my more serious articles (my contribution to "They Didn't Ask for Fentanyl"), I showed the facts behind one of America's most serious current problems: fentanyl and drug poisoning. Through these graphs and charts, I was able to demonstrate stories without using any words and show how serious this issue has gotten in the past few years.

I made this map for the package "More than a Fetus" on Scot Scoop.It shows how states would react to an overturning of Roe v. Wade.

I made these charts for the package "More than a Fetus" on Scot Scoop. The pie chart shows which income level is most likely to get an abortion. The graph shows how the number of abortion deaths has decreased since Roe v. Wade.

This was the first of the multimedia pieces I made for my feature on the James Webb Space Telescope. NASA originally created the model, but due to its complex nature, I had to reformat it and compress it in 3D software, as well as make it more easily embeddable in our webpage.

This was the second of the multimedia pieces I made for my feature on the James Webb Space Telescope. It displays the differences between the Hubble and James Webb Telescopes.

This was the first of the multimedia pieces I made for the Iran Protest Package. It displays the amount of incidents in Iran compared to the fatalities.

This was the second of the multimedia pieces I made for the Iran Protest Package and the most complex to date. It displays the amount of incidents in Iran, the fatalities, and their type. It also displays exactly where the incidents happened: there were around 100,000 individuals cells of data in this map.

Design for Highlander Magazine

In my first spread for The Highlander, I chose to highlight an issue important to every teenager: driver's education and getting a license. I was able to express this by designing and implementing a road-like style, experimenting with new software such as Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.

In my second spread for The Highlander, I chose to highlight the importance of the continuation of masks as a means to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. In doing so, I was able to explore a new method of design by using Adobe Photoshop and creating colorful silhouettes.

In my third spread for The Highlander, I chose to highlight the student body; more specifically, I wrote about students' summer plans and where they were planning on traveling. I was able to express this artistically through a postcard design and implemented a vintage-look to emphasize the travels.
