***This is an archive of my journalism portfolio - last updated in 2021 - I have since transitioned to data science - check out that portfolio here*** 

​

I'm Editor in Chief of Michigan State's award-winning, independent student media organization, The State News, cultivating expansive, multi-platform readership growth, revamping audience engagement and centralizing diversity efforts through piloting data-informed content analysis, hiring and source tracking initiatives.

​

In March 2020, I became a MediaWise Voter Project Campus Correspondent, guided by The Poynter Institute for Media Studies, where I crafted and refined a training presentation about telling fact from fiction online reaching hundreds of first-time voters alongside advocating fact checking tips and tricks on TikTok and Instagram.

​

My written work includes enterprise stories about Michigan's political, environmental and economic future with Capital News Service and city council beat coverage with The State News.

​

Before stumbling into journalism, I was on the MSU Debate Team competing at major tournaments nationwide ranking in the top-40.

 

As an editor for both city and campus news, I assembled the leading coverage for East Lansing's local elections and coordinated rapid response reporting about Michigan State's administration, academics and student life as the COVID-19 pandemic began to reshape public life.
