I have extensive experience with journalism, copywriting, and creative writing across a variety of subjects. Check out my portfolio:
I previously wrote for The Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona. My beats included local government, business, and transportation. I regularly covered city council meetings, and was the sole reporter on call for municipal elections. Some of my most interesting clips include breaking a story on human trafficking and city election confusion.
Post-grad, I worked for the Corridor Business Journal covering local business news and economic development, and profiling innovative entrepreneurs. A large portion of my work was dedicated to compiling a list of 500 Iowa CEO’s for the CBJ’s inaugural IA 500 publication.
I worked for The Daily Iowan for four years as a college student; I began as an Arts Reporter and worked my way up to Managing Editor. My writing here focused on the arts and entertainment scene, as well as long-form projects about subjects like the Herbert Hoover Museum and Iowa’s deathcare industry.
I interned at the Carroll Times Herald in Carroll, Iowa, for a summer of invaluable breaking news coverage and small-town journalism. I covered political events attended by former Vice President Mike Pence, and profiled up-and-coming musicians with local ties.
I also worked as the Student Communications Specialist at the UI’s School of Social Work for a time, where I wrote profile articles on students and alumni. I also managed the department’s Facebook and Instagram content, as well as learned basic website maintenance.
Poetry
In addition to journalism, I have a passion for artistic literature and poetry. Here are my published personal pieces:
Fools Magazine
My poem “skeleton wrists” was published in Vol. 12 of Fools Magazine. I briefly served as a writing editor for Fools Magazine after this poem’s publication.
New Moon Literary Journal
My poem “mayfly suspended” was published in the October 2023 issue of New Moon.
The Queer Gaze
My poem “firearm crush” was published by The Queer Gaze magazine in October 2026.
