About Shayna (She/Her)

Hey! My name is Shayna Salazar and I am a senior at FHSU studying Digital Media and Journalism. I hope to someday become a well known (and well liked) photojournalist who inspires others much like the ones before me have inspired me. I currently live in Colorado but next month I begin my journey of travelling as a military wife! I met my husband in 6th grade and we have been best friends since then. As for my college life, I attended FHSU on campus for three years and now I am finishing up online. I can't wait for what this class brings!
