A brief about me
In just three years, I earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism with dual emphases in reporting + writing and cross-platform editing + producing. Now in my fourth year at the University of Missouri, I will graduate in May 2025 with a master’s degree in journalism with emphases on data and investigative journalism.
I am a Mizzou Football reporter and sports editor for the Columbia Missourian, a daily newspaper that I was previously a local government editor and reporter at.
I am actively looking for future employment opportunities. Please feel free to take a look at my work and reach out to me with any further questions or opportunities to share!
“Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air."
