I am an enthusiastic, dedicated and curious journalist with a passion for finding and reporting the truth.
Every writer is an editor- whether that be of their own work, or that of others. My work as Editor-in-Chief has allowed me to sharpen my editing skills and help my staff become better writers.

In the simplest terms, reporting is about telling the truth. But there's more to it than that— it's about asking the right questions, building relationships, compiling information and having your audience's best interest at heart. And on top of that, the angle has to be unique and engaging. It's a challenge, but one that I am always up for.
We have entered a new age of technology, where a publication is only as strong as its social media presence. Marketing ourselves to the community is imperative to our success, and something I do not take lightly.
It isn't enough for the content of a piece or website to be well done. I you want to gain people's attention, it has to look great as well. As I have learned more about journalism, I've also discovered the remarkable power of design.

In the modern world, journalists must have the skills to work in a variety of mediums, including photojournalism, videojournalism, and audio. As I have experimented with forms of media, I've found a passion for unique methods of storytelling.
Fake news and misinformation are a plague to society, and are causing people to lose trust in the media, making it all the more important that journalists follow the laws and ethics outlined for them.
Journalism is about telling the truth— not just one person's truth, but everyone's. Even when it's hard or scary, I know that broadcasting a wide range of perspectives is absolutely essential.
