A passion for storytelling,

I began my journalism career in 2019 and since then I have grown as a writer, photographer and videographer.

Working for the Marysville Journal-Tribune, I have helped expand our coverage with deep insights into sports such as wrestling, football, lacrosse and many more! Visit the newspaper’s website to view stories not included on this site.

I also work as a digital content supplier for the Ohio High School Athletic Association assisting in the coverage of state tournaments. Highlights I have helped the association include:

  • Growing the TikTok account from around 8K followers to now over 27K followers with over 155.9K likes.

  • Growing the association’s Instagram page from around 26K followers to now over 41K followers.

I am currently a sports writer and editor for The Marysville Journal-Tribune and The Richwood Gazette where I cover five high schools. I also serve as the newspapers’ sports photographer and videographer.

I was born in Seattle, Washington and moved to Westchester County, New York when I was 13 years old. In 2014 graduated from Croton-Harmon High School.

After New York, I ventured out to the midwest in pursuit of my undergraduate degree in journalism. After four years, I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism from the Ohio Wesleyan University, located in Delaware, Ohio as well as a varsity letter for the Battling Bishops Football Team.

I also worked as a general news reporter with three newspapers owned by APG Media of Ohio. I reported on all beats of news making sure all locals were aware of what was happening in their respective communities.
