Education
I went to the University of Colorado at Boulder to learn Russian, then the Metropolitan State University of Denver to learn journalism. I’m better at the second than the first!
Life before CBS…
I’m originally from Virginia, but I spent the last eight years in Colorado. I weathered the pandemic at the Denver Art Museum, in various roles. I’m very proud to have been on the staff of the world-famous Denver Press Club, where I managed the membership, planned events, handled communications and much, much more. I also enjoyed regularly contributing to the Albuquerque Journal. I moved to Minneapolis in July of 2024 and I’m having a lot of fun exploring the Twin Cities!
Adjusting to college life…
I think it’s important to know that things don’t always turn out the way you’d expect! I try to learn something from every experience and enjoy the ride.
Favorite part of the job?
Building community is important to me, and I like being the person that helps bring people together.
Current passions, hobbies, things that give you joy?
Between lifting and muay thai, I spend quite a bit of time in the gym. I enjoy the greats of American film and literature, especially Westerns and noir. I love traveling, here and abroad, to the biggest cities and loneliest towns. On occasion, you might find me behind the pine.
Be on the lookout for…
