On Aug. 3, I will celebrate my one-year anniversary of being part of the Hinds team. As the Multimedia Specialist in the Public Relations Department, I have taken many photographs in the past year. My job has connected me to many interesting people and events. In this post I am going to share with you one of my favorite images from each of the past 12 months. Each image was chosen because it either depicted an event or person that impacted Hinds or stood out as a compelling image.
