My name is Jamie Bricker and I am a rising Junior at the University of Delaware. I am double-majoring in Political Science and Communications. My photography experience is very limited. Prior to transferring to UD, I attended the George Washington University. During my time there I took a class called "Introduction to Video Production" where I learned how to operate a camera and master editing apps like Adobe Premiere Pro and more. In high school I took a course called "Digital Photography" where I learned how to operate another camera and use different techniques to make a portfolio. 

During this course, I hope to refresh my photography skills that I've previously learned. Since my high school photography course, I do not remember much about using the cameras, or the editing software, so I hope to master these once again. Another goal I have is to be able to utilize skills I learn from this course in my everyday life. My sister and I love taking photos, but after taking this course, I hope I can apply some of my knowledge to my everyday life taking photos. Finally, by completing this course, I hope to get an understanding of media and journalism. A major part of Political Science is journalism, and through UD there are not many opportunities in my course plan to explore this. By taking this course, I hope to gain knowledge in the media/journalism field, and broaden my knowledge.
