From an early age, growing up in a large family, I naturally took on the role of communicator and storyteller - bringing people together through humor, creativity, and shared experiences. This passion for connection evolved into a lifelong commitment to the arts and, ultimately, to journalism. I believe in the power of storytelling not only to entertain, but to inform, inspire, and drive meaningful change.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Journalism and Media Communication from the University of Nebraska at Omaha and am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Journalism at Michigan State University. Through both academic training and hands-on experience, I have developed a strong foundation in ethical reporting, multimedia storytelling, and audience engagement.

As a journalist, I strive to uncover stories that resonate with communities, highlight underrepresented voices, and bring clarity and compassion to complex issues. I am dedicated to using journalism as a tool for positive impact—one story at a time.
