Why Journalism?

I’ve been recording videos for as long as I can remember, but in 2019 I decided to take the plunge and dedicate myself to broadcast journalism. Since then, I’ve been very fortunate to have had my work featured in a variety of publications.

I look at each individual as a story waiting to not just be heard, but seen. I see stories in everyday life and do my best to be the medium through which they reach the screen. To find out more about my work, browse my newly updated Journalist Portfolio and get in touch if you have any questions or would like to discuss working together.

I like to talk about sports. In 4th grade I made it a goal to read the sports section of the Star Tribune newspaper everyday. Don't believe me? Ask me anything about the RBI leaders for the MLB in 2009 or the promising high school athletes at the Minnesota tournaments. I grew up watching March Madness basketball with my grandpa each spring while competing for a tiny trophy my mom's family would award to the bracket winner. When I toured the University of Kentucky, the tour guide said that once we graduated we would love the sport of basketball. They were correct. I gained a love for UK basketball and lost my DUKE sweatshirt I wore all of high school.

I like to talk about travel & lifestyle. From a young age I have been passionate about going outside my comfort zone. This past year it was paragliding through the Alps. Another would be hiking to see lava, or trying the top ranked BBQ right here in Lexington at Red State restaurant. What do all of these experiences have in common? I record them and add them to my collection of home videos. My goal this year is to travel to all 50 states - I have two left to go.

My passion for sports, lifestyle, and travel stems from my childhood passions and has continued to follow me to my adulthood. With various digital sports & news experiences, I work daily towards improving local communities and the lives of others by telling their stories.
