I've wanted to be a writer since I was a child and in freshman year, a friend recommended that I take the newspaper class at Huron High School. I was hesitant, as non-fictional, journalistic writing was something I'd never been exposed to. I assumed that I'd immediately hate it, simply because I'd always preferred fiction. But my outlook has completely changed. 

​

The most important lessons of journalism are taught outside the classroom, reality promoting me how to navigate a fast-paced world with creativity, compassion, and accuracy. I've learned to be open-minded, to be outgoing and enthusiastic about everything, to embrace unfamiliarity and welcome uncertainty. 

​

As a growing journalist, but also simply a member of society, I understand how I hold a responsibility to uncover and communicate what has the power we change the way we think and regard one another for the better – and the only way to accomplish this is through seeking the unknown. Words have power, and it is my forever goal to employ them in a way that reveals the knowledge, perspectives, and lessons that shape our world.
