Biz Comm alum Kelsey Marden reached out to us about her exciting career! She writes:
"Currently I am working as an assistant for a Baltimore freelance photographer, Justin Tsucalas, who shoots a wide range of subjects. He frequently works with Baltimore magazine, Baltimore Style, BmoreArt and several other local magazines as well as many of the city's restaurants. I'm able to learn a lot from him by attending shoots and practicing in his studio while also contributing my writing and design skills to his business! Outside of working for Justin, I am freelancing photography, writing, and some graphic design. Any of the photography jobs that Justin can't take on he's been passing along to me, and I'm continuing to shoot events for Baltimore magazine. I also started writing for BmoreArt as a freelancer and will have my first article out in just a couple of weeks!"
Congratulations, Kelsey, for following your dreams and finding success in writing and the arts! In the photo, she's shown during her internship at Baltimore Magazine.
