I am a multifaceted young journalist currently working as online sports producer at The Arizona Republic. I interned at The Grand Rapids Press over the summer, and previously served as 2009-10 editor in chief of Central Michigan Life, the award-winning student publication of Central Michigan University.

I spent the summer of 2009 at The Grand Rapids Press as a copy desk intern, and summer 2008 at The Saginaw News as a metro reporting intern.
