Hiya! I obtained my undergraduate degree from Marquette University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Law Studies. I went on to work in Public Defense as an Investigator in the Kansas City area for four years.
As of May 2025, I have graduated with my master's in photojournalism from the University of Missouri. During my time at Mizzou, I was the communications law teaching assistant, lead coordinator for College Photographer of the Year and Pictures of the Year, and a photographer for the Columbia Missourian.
This past semester, I became a Part 107 Drone Certified Pilot.
As of June 2025, I am the lead visual journalist and photo manager for the Springfield Daily Citizen, a non-profit newspaper in Springfield, MO.
I have been published in the Columbia Missourian, The Associated Press, The New Territory magazine, Vox Magazine, WCMU Public Media, and across the Michigan Public Radio Network.
When I am not in the newsroom, I can probably be found cooking without a recipe, sweating over Notre Dame sports and talking someone's ear off about the lastest movie I saw.
