Currently living in the Twin Cities area, I write freelance for local publications and hope to work in visual reporting in the future.

About Me

A senior in History-Media Production at Bethel University, I freelance to improve my media skills and learn about the wider Twin Cities community. My ultimate goal is to work in visual journalism or even documentary filmmaking.

What I Work On

Stories that show the lives and history of the people I interview. With slugs and ledes on those subjects being my strengths. On these stories I try to go as in depth as possible and learn the details of each perspective.

Personal

One of my favorite things to do is read and write about history. My favorite fiction authors are Ray Bradbury and . I enjoy being in nature and learning about the world around me.
