ABOUT

Delayna is driven as a visual journalist by a curiosity that was instilled in her from a young age. She read everything that was available to her and has always been fascinated by history and learning about how people live their lives. She feels extremely privileged to now have the opportunity to experience how others live first hand.

Delayna graduated from Western Kentucky University in 2011 with degrees in photojournalism and history. She has worked as a freelance photographer for the Free Lance-Star, the Central Virginian and the Fauquier Times-Democrat. She has also worked as a staff photographer for the College Heights Herald newspaper and the Talisman yearbook at WKU. Her work has been published on MSNBC.com and in the Linking Ring magazine, and has been recognized by the National Press Photographers Association and College Photographer of the Year.

She is currently interning at The Elkhart Truth in Elkhart, Indiana and will be there until May 2012.
