This is the area for your writer bio. Write a paragraph of 3-5 sentences. Possible things to include.

Example
Nick Miller- Photographer
I am a sports and lifestyle photographer for the Gigantea and I have been helping share images from RHS since 2009. I primarily shoot sports photography, but I also cover rallies and club events from time to time. I have learned that Rangers love to see themselves doing cool stuff and I am happy to help them get pictures that matter to them. I am particularly proud of my work that covers sports that many people never go to watch. It gives those athletes an opportunity to have their skills shown to the whole world in a meaningful and professional way.
Semester 1 Stories
Create a content block for each story you have published this semester. You can duplicate the blocks below for each story you have written. DELETE THIS PARAGRAPH when you are done.
This is the Headline from your first story:
For this content block, please include a short paragraph that summarizes the content of this story AND indicates one of your journalistic strengths. Does it show good interviewing skills? Does it show good reporting? Why?
Include a second paragraph about why this story matters. Who does it inform? Who does it impact? How does it help our reader community? How?
*** Make sure that both the image and the headline are clickable links that take the reader to the story you are highlighting here.
Photogallery: Men’s Varsity Soccer 11.18.2022
This is a photogallery I created for this year's first men's home soccer game. It was against Lindsay and it was a really intense game. The Lindsay team was really strong and aggressive. The final score was 3-1 and Redwood won. This show my strong sports photographer skills. I am pretty good at shooting a game and building a gallery to share.
This story matters because soccer doesn't draw the same kinds of crowds that other sports get. By highlighting the soccer teams with my camera, I am connecting our readers to our diverse, talented athletes and showing a part of RHS athletic life that not many people see.
