My daughter Nicole Sullivan has been a photographer for many years. One of the jobs she has worked at for the past few years is serving as a staff photographer for UC Davis, covering events and student life. For her second job, she works at the Yolo County Animal Shelter, caring for rescued pets. Her photography skills have also been useful on the shelter’s Facebook page, helping the animals get adopted:

The Royal Observatory sent a film crew to interview her for seven hours, to create this bio video of her:

Not bad for age 15!

Then the following year, she took highest honors in the California State Fair with a framed print of this image of hers:
