Haylie Irving is an Environmental Science Major who loves adventures, popcorn and lifting.

I was born in a small town called Snohomish in Washington about an hour north of Seattle and have lived there my whole life. Snohomish is a very rural town with farms, horses, and trucks everywhere. During the fall seasons people come from all over the state to experience the pumpkin patches and corn mazes that are abundant throughout town.

Moving to California has always been a dream of mine since I was little. Transferring to Biola from a small college in Washington was a huge change for me, but extremely exciting. Being able to experience sandy beaches and the endless places to explore has been my favorite part. At Biola I am studying Environmental Science in hopes of one day saving our planet single handedly (Shooting for the stars), but I have always had a passion for photography. It has been fun to see how my love for photography has integrated into my career. Since I am out in nature all the time, I can capture some amazing moments using photography. Working for the Chimes has been another way to broaden my horizons and push me into a new variety of photography that I have been really enjoying.
