JOURNALISM / NEWS CURATION
Hello! I’m a multimedia journalist and recent graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia, where I earned an M.A. in Journalism with an emphasis in cross-platform editing and producing.
In my current role as an Editorial Fellow at Apple News, I worked within different teams to expand my portfolio. During my time as a fellow, I curated article collections, produced audio segments for the Apple News Today podcast, wrote copy for the Good Morning from Apple News newsletters and social media, curated recipe groups, and collaborated on coverage plans for events, such as The Grammy Awards and The Oscars.
In previous roles as Editor-in-Chief at Vox Magazine and intern for St. Louis Magazine, I developed and refined my skills as a writer, editor, and producer. I’m now eager to bring that experience to a full-time position in a dynamic newsroom or media environment.
Here, you’ll find a selection of my work, including writing clips from editorial fellowships and internships, work samples from my role at Vox Magazine, as well as multimedia pieces produced during my graduate studies.

I'm especially passionate about storytelling that intersects with lifestyle, arts, and entertainment. I strive to create engaging narratives that not only inform but also inspire and resonate on a personal level. I'm excited to continue exploring stories that celebrate culture, creativity, and the human experience.
