I'm a Kansas State graduate with a Bachelor's in journalism while minoring in economics and political science. I'm from Wichita, Kansas, and I've lived in Kansas almost all my life. Here you can find all my journalism projects and work, my resume and contact, and more!

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 blossom in the journalism world, 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!

"Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work."
