STORY
TELLER
I’m a multiplatform communications specialist who loves digging into a story.
Currently, I'm earning my master's in Political Science at Saint Louis University's Madrid campus and eating my fill of tapas. Previously, I reported and produced for St. Louis Public Radio. I plan to combine my journalism and political science skills to help solve humanitarian crises.
My track record shows I can bring ideas to fruition, connect with audiences and break down complex issues. In 2020, I won a regional Edward R. Murrow award for my digital presentation breaking down how an absentee ballot gets counted. Besides St. Louis Public Radio, my work has appeared in KCUR, the NPR affiliate in Kansas City and KBIA, the public radio station in Columbia, MO.
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in journalism from Lindenwood University in 2020. I minored in cinema arts and digital content strategy.
