I am a senior at Ohio University majoring in journalism and interactive design. Currently, I am the digital managing editor as well as a data reporter and web designer for The Post, OU’s independent student-run media outlet. Last summer I worked at The Dallas Morning News as a data and design intern where I created interactive maps and charts for stories and other long-form projects. The summer prior to that, I interned at Newsday on Long Island where I was on the web development team. My ultimate goal is to use my passions of design and reporting to tell impactful stories in a more visual way.
The other half of my time is spent in Cleveland, OH, where I live with both of my parents and my dog, Burke. When I am not submitting FOIA requests, sifting through spreadsheets or inspecting the code of a webpage, I am usually reading books, practicing calligraphy or learning a new programming language.
