About the Author

Alejandra Casas
It was in my freshman year of high school that I discovered a love for photography and fell in love with the telling of true stories. I became assistant editor of the school’s yearbook and photo editor of the newspaper. I spent my free time and summers taking part in the San Antonio Express-News Teen Team and attending the two-week long Urban Journalism Workshop at San Antonio College. Now that I attend Texas A&M-San Antonio, I feel that I’ve found an institution where I can enjoy a great education within my field which will help me reach my artistic and professional goals.
