Outside of School and DEC-Camosun I run my own photography business, work and try to expand my financial knowledge. To relieve the stress from the daily grind of school and work I like to swim, run, hang out with friends and go on photo excursions.
DEC-Camosun has made major leaps and bounds in our first eight months of existence and this year can only get better. Welcome to DEC-Camosun.
