The Clipper

What brought me into The Clipper was the small variety in sports journalism. There were some articles written already there but there wasn’t too much variety. That’s where I told myself “I could cover all of the sports offered here”

My dream job; is to continue being a sports journalist or somewhere within the sports industry.

What got me into Journalism, it was my second option other than doing sports. Still being able to work with a team and still being in the same sports environment when it comes to covering sports events. What drove me even more was being the chance to be courtside or pitch side to showcase what I can. Not just as a sports photographer but as a Journalist as well.

Issues that I’m interested in are how others shouldn’t screenshot or publish other photographers’ photos without their consent. It takes time for us to go to the sporting event and come back home and edit the photos.

When I’m not with the Clipper. I’m doing sports photography, doing homework and spending time with my family.

I identify the most with Leonil Messi. We all need our idols to look up too. To say “I want to achieve what they achieved”. With Messi, he did things on the football field that were impossible within the world of football. Whenever I need a reminder that I can achieve anything. I always look back towards his 2012 and 2022 highlights. In 2012 He set a record to never be broken again 91 goals in a calendar year. In 2022 he achieved what every football dreams of achieving winning the World cup for their nations.
