Hello! I am originally from Olathe, Kan., which is a suburb just west of Kansas City. I graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism in May 2021. I completed my Bachelor of Journalism with an emphasis in Convergence-Emerging Media. I am also a certified FAA Drone Pilot.

Though the Midwest is home to me, I have lived in six states within the past 11 years. Moving has been one of the biggest positives in my life. It has helped me see new perspectives instead of only living in one community my whole life.

Last summer, interned on small island on Lake Michigan in Wisconsin called Washington Island. The Island was home to about 230 full-time residents. I worked for the Washington Island Observer. I found real-life stories island residents in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. I covered news for the weekly publication, and I was the only reporting intern for the summer.

Some of other my journalistic passions are sports photography. I love the rush of a game, and I love finding stories beyond the action. I previously interned with the Kansas City T-Bones (Monarchs now) baseball team in 2019. I was able to photograph staff, the game, and the fans. I wrote features for social media, and I assisted with game coverage as well. One of my favorite stories I found was about a war veteran who attended the games to help recover from PTSD.

I have experience working with SEO and Google Analytics. I also have basic knowledge in coding websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
