About Me

I graduated from the University of Iowa in May 2023 with a B.A. in journalism and mass communications and a certificate in arts entrepreneurship. I spent over a year writing for the arts & culture section of The Daily Iowan and a summer interning with Kansas City magazine. I went on to serve a term on the Board of Trustees for The Daily Iowan as the only undergraduate student representative and I served as the Public Relations Director for the Hawkathlon.
