About me

I'm a 25-year-old journalist, who loves covering politics and government issues and connecting with readers through social media.

I grew up around the Midwest, and by the age of 19, I'd lived in seven states: Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, North Dakota, Michigan and Idaho.

During my four years at Michigan State University, I spent six semesters at The State News - the last semester as the editor in chief.

I also interned at The (Fargo, N.D.) Forum, Newsday's Washington bureau and The Oklahoman. I graduated from Michigan State in August 2009 with bachelor's degrees in journalism and political science/prelaw.
