About Me:
Hey friends, my name is Emily Potter, and before you ask, no, I am not related to the wizard Harry Potter. Although, that would be kind of sick relation to have, this is the silly question I get asked the most when I meet new people. Instead of attending Hogwarts, I attend school here at Georgia Southern University and I am a rising senior majoring in multimedia journalism. Through the courses I have taken at Southern, many of my major journalism classes require you to upload pictures with your reporting assignments. So, I have some experience with photography due to the multimedia add-ons in my classes, but I am excited to learn more through photojournalism. Outside of what I have learned in my classes, I have a lot of experience with a DSLR camera due to my job. I am a content creator and marketing specialist at Cheeky Bliss in Statesboro, Georgia. This is actually the location of where I took this selfie at. My job requires me to run all social media platforms, come up with marketing events and plan photoshoots. I typically work with a DSLR camera every week on photoshoots. With these shoots I am able to have a free-range of creativity, which is so fun. Working this job has made me super comfortable not only behind the camera, but in front of it too. I really can't thank my job enough for showing me a skill I actually enjoy.
