New Member Highlights: Allie Vasak

I grew up in a little suburb of California called El Segundo. Living in a small town for 18 years, I always knew I wanted to get out and see what else was out there and that’s what brought me to Texas. I ended up at the University of Texas at Austin for my undergraduate degree where I studied economics and chemistry. Then, during the summer between my 3rd and 4th year I was afforded the opportunity to study documentary photography in France. It was during this experience that I developed a passion for capturing and sharing people’s stories through photographs. Fast forward two years and here I am in San Antonio pursuing a degree in medicine at the Long School of Medicine when I came across the SA People Project. I was immediately drawn to this project for my love of photography, community, and story-telling. I am extremely excited to be able to contribute to sharing the stories of the amazing people of San Antonio and help bring our community closer together.
