Photography is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I am here to share my knowledge and passion with teens and adults. I am a self-taught photographer and owner of a small business providing headshots, event photography, and product photography. My professional journey is varied and has given me expert skills in photography, technology, and spreadsheets that I can teach you.
I can guide you through photography fundamentals, composition, cropping, photography softwares and gear, lighting with strobes and speedlights, camera settings, image editing, file management, photo galleries, photography website set-up, backdrops, and scene setting for product photography. Photography software I teach includes CaptureOne, Affinity Creative Suite, Shootproof, ROES for prints, WordPress, and Nikon NX Studio. Further, I offer assessment of your photography, homework exercises to improve images, and Q&A sessions on your specific growth opportunities.
I can also teach automated spreadsheets tailored to your life, business, or school load. My expert topics include nested if/then formulas, hlookup/vlookup, countif/sumif, conditional formatting, date functions, advanced filtering, Pivot tables, data parsing, and more. I use these spreadsheet features to track business metrics and manage client relationships, and I can teach you how.
Why hire me? I present complicated concepts in pieces to make learning easy and practice possible. I study photography and spreadsheets out of interest so that I can advance my skills. As shown by my varied career, I believe in lifelong learning. I earned a BS in Finance from the University of Tulsa and prepared for the Certified Diabetes Educator exam at Kansas State University. I have used spreadsheets every step of the way. Specific to tutoring, as a Certified Diabetes Educator for 3 years, I taught life-saving skills to families managing diabetes at home. Let’s learn something together.
