Halle Pappalardo

My name is Halle and this is my cat Theo Chubb Pappalardo. His middle name is after Nick Chubb of the Cleveland Browns because his last name is literally Chubb. I chose to take my selfie with him because I just adopted him last week and he loves me because I feed him. Aside from hanging out with Theo, I watch sports in my free time. I watched the Browns game today and was left shook and confused how we couldn't win…. but we didn't exactly lose. I will still support the Cavs because of my love for basketball and because I’m going to act like a certain someone didn't leave and break our hearts and/or chances. My goal job after college is to work for ESPN and be a sideline reporter. At first I only wanted to work with the NBA, but now I have decided that I would like to do the NFL too. I will take what I can get. I just need a job. I have always been interested in photography and wanted to major in it when I was in high school, but ultimately chose journalism. I don’t have a favorite photographer because I really don’t know many names, but my grandma has been photographing my family for as long as I can remember. She tells me I’m a model, but its probably only because I’m the cutest grandchild. My favorite thing to photograph is probably cities or my friends. I use a ring light for most of my photos so my Instagram photos can’t be put to shame. I hope to expand my knowledge of photography and view things from different perspectives. Someone that has influenced me the most would be my mom. She motivates me and roots me on when I second guess or doubt myself which is about 90% of the time. This photo may seem kinda “basic”, but there’s no way I couldn’t take a picture with Theo. In the background are some streamers I spent 40 minutes on hanging up to try to look cool. My friend fell off a chair helping me because I don’t have long arms. I guess it came out pretty good.
