For nearly four years, I served as a reporter for the Centre Daily Times newspaper in State College, Pennsylvania. I primarily covered K-12 public education and local business while lending a hand with breaking news and service journalism stories.

I graduated from Penn State in 2022 with a bachelor's degree in digital and print journalism. I minored in digital media trends and analytics and earned a certificate in sports journalism.

At Penn State, I served as the managing editor of Onward State, one of the largest student media organizations in the country. I wrote more than 1,500 news stories and led a team of about 70 talented student journalists, photographers, and designers.

I previously served as a general assignment reporter for StateCollege.com and a radio news intern with WPSU Radio.
