"Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today."

Robert McAfee Brown

The one thing I love to do is tell stories.

My goal is to bring people's stories into the world, especially when it comes to sports. Sports have always been a passion of mine, and I want to continue to cover sports in any way I can.

I wrote for the Iowa State Daily and covered beats including softball, tennis, gymnastics, wrestling, soccer and volleyball. I also wrote extensively for football, men's basketball and women's basketball.

I have also done work outside of my beat covering stories in the Iowa State Athletics Department as well as the bodybuilding industry. Through my experiences, I learned how to build strong connections and writing skills.
