Nice to meet you!
I'm a visuals-driven audience journalist with experience in social media, SEO and analytics, digital production, and photojournalism editing. I'm currently finishing my master's in newsroom management at the University of Missouri, where I received my bachelor's in photojournalism editing in 2021.
My audience work focuses on cross-media storytelling and community involvement. Every medium conveys information in different ways and engages with different people. My job is to find the most effective ways of telling people's stories, working within and around the mediums and platforms we use every day.
My editing work centers on education and guidance. Every journalist is made better by understanding and even participating in the editing process. It's my role as an editor, of photos and words alike, to facilitate this collaboration and communication. What good is my knowledge and experience if it lives only in my own head?
I LOVE: foreground layering, the Pittsburgh Penguins, that warm feeling when you succeed at something you love, Photo Mechanic's crop-preview feature, speculative fiction, color-coded spreadsheets, getting in the zone, early-morning walks in a new city, road trips, roller coasters, coming home

Some of my employment history:
Vox Magazine, Photo Director
Columbia Missourian, Assistant Director of Photography
The Dallas Morning News, Audience Engagement Intern
Sporting Kansas City, Freelance Photographer
POLITICO Europe, Production Intern
