I am a public relations student at Iowa State University with experience in journalism, public relations and digital communications. I’m passionate about writing, storytelling and creating meaningful content that connects organizations with their audiences.
Through my work with the Iowa State Daily and ISU Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship, I’ve built experience in writing, editing, newsletters, content strategy and project management. I enjoy work that combines creativity and collaboration while giving me the opportunity to communicate ideas clearly and tell stories with purpose.
Outside of work and school, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, being outside and taking lots of pictures.
A passion for genuine connection
I believe strong communication starts with understanding the people and audiences behind the message. Whether I’m telling someone’s story, developing content for an organization or editing a piece of news, I aim to create work that feels genuine, purposeful and relevant.
Through journalism and public relations, I’ve found that I’m at my best when I can combine writing, creativity and collaboration. I enjoy finding the right words, paying attention to the details and creating content that helps people connect with an idea, organization or story.
