Journalism Work & Bylines

Since starting at The Minnesota Daily in 2019, my words have appeared in The Minnesota Star Tribune, the Sahan Journal, the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder, and more. My first love and loyalty is to writing and editing (digital and print), but I’ve honed skills with data, graphic design, photo, video, and audio.

Chances are, when I talk about some of my favorite stories, I’m talking about one of these:
