I am a journalism graduate of Loyola University Chicago’s Fall Class of 2016. I understand the art of appeal when it comes to branding and writing for publications, especially through mediums like social media and high traffic websites. My passion is writing about what I know, and what I know best is ever-changing news in modern culture. My accomplishments include the following:
- Producing freelance food, wine and travel content for Winerist
- Exceeding sales goals and maintaining client relationships/ad campaigns at Tribune Publishing
- Publishing and editing multimedia content for the Chicago Sun-Times – Homicide Watch
- Skilled in digital storytelling and investigative research methods for data-driven journalism

- Copy/Photography Editor of Mosaic Magazine – Loyola’s Social Justice Publication
- Analyzing social media for breaking story leads and locating informative local sources
