Minh Connors is currently attending college at the Missouri School of Journalism. He achieved a significant milestone by receiving a full scholarship through the NJ STARS program to pursue his education at Brookdale Community College, without which higher education would not have been possible. His passion for visual storytelling was ignited when he received recognition from the Missouri Press Association for a short documentary on demolition derby drivers. This inspired him to pursue a graduate degree in photojournalism at Missouri.
