PORTFOLIO OF WORK

Past. Present. Future.

THE COLLEGIAN AT
KANSAS STATE

 I joined the Collegian — K-State's independent student publication — as a videographer, but added news writing and photography later in spring 2022. I accepted the role of editor-in-chief in 2022 for my upcoming junior year, and I accepted the role again to serve through the 2023-24 school year.

TECH DIRECTOR/VIDEO EDITOR AT KSNT

About a month after graduation, I've started my first job at KSNT, Topeka's Nexstar television station. I was hired to take on tech directing and video editing.

THE FUTURE?

I would love to be work my way up to be a news editor or broadcast reporter, and someday a broadcast teacher after I gain more experience. Maybe I could make a name for myself and be my own boss? Who knows what the future holds!
