Welcome!

This website is home to my reporting, creative works and personal experiences

 

My roots

Growing up in Colorado with a family who went to the University of Colorado Boulder, I was born to be a Buff. My experience in the College of Media, Communication and Information at CU was extremely rewarding. I went from a bright-eyed 18-year old to an experienced reporter and confident leader. I pride myself in being an eager learner, having integrity and working hard at everything I do. I’m excited and proud that my roots now have extended elsewhere, and I’ve found new homes in Phoenix at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, and in Washington, D.C., at The Hill.

My Passion

The more I do within the field of journalism, the more I know that it’s the right path for me. After several internships, a fellowship and being the lead editor of our student paper start-up, I know I belong in a newsroom. I strive to be an accurate, hardworking and ethical reporter. My best stories are people-driven, and I pride myself on my abilities to show the human aspect of complicated issues. Throughout my career I hope to influence the industry, incorporate solutions into newsrooms and make journalism a more diverse, kind and sustainable place to be.
