I am a writer, journalist, and photographer located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I have always been very passionate about storytelling and the power of an individual story. 

When I was a child, I knew I wanted to be a writer when I grew up, and as I went through school, I realized that journalism was a new way to tell stories. 

I started journalism in high school, working at Eagle Nation Online and later helping to found the sister publication Hill Top Times. 

As I approached college, I knew I did not want to slow the momentum I had built and sought out a school with a writing program that aligned with my goals.

What I found was the Mayborn School of Journalism at the University of North Texas, and their student publication, the North Texas Daily. 

At the publication, I wrote in the News, Opinion, Arts & Life, and The Dose sections. I served as a volunteer for three and a half semesters before taking over as Arts & Life/The Dose Editor midway through the fall of 2023. I served as the sections editor until the spring of 2025, when I became the Managing Editor for the paper. I retained the position over the summer, working as the paper's Managing Editor for eight months. 

In that role, I assisted with editing and writing breaking news stories and maintained communication between the managerial board and section editors. I also gained experience with Buffer for social media publishing, copyedited the weekly newsletter, and gained some InDesign experience by editing or curating page layouts. 

In my last semester at the university I served as the Daily's Editor-in-Chief, after being with the paper for 10 semesters, publishing more than 80 articles and countless photographs.

I graduated from UNT magna cum laude, earning a BA in Journalism with a focus in digital and print media and a minor in English.

While at the Daily, I covered a variety of topics, including university affairs, artist profiles, event coverage and critical review. I also gained experience as a photographer covering live music events like concerts and SXSW as well as protests, rain or shine. 

I also gained experience in producing and co-hosting podcasts as the co-host for several seasons of "The Daily's Dose" a media and current events podcast created by the Daily.
