The future of news media has never been more exciting to me.
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 was named 2009 College Journalist of the Year by the Michigan Press Association, and graduated from CMU in May 2010 with a degree in journalism and media design. 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.
