<b>Birthday:</b> Jan. 13

<b>Bio: </b>I grew up just a few minutes away in St. Charles. From a young age I was always engaged in my community, either by playing sports or reporting for my high school newspaper. After graduating high school from St. Charles East, I decided to follow my passion for engaging with others and headed to Missouri&#39;s School of Journalism, where I obtained a bachelor&#39;s degree in Convergence Journalism. That experience allowed me to work for numerous award-winning news organizations in Chicago and Missouri, ultimately helping me become a 2010 Hearst Fellowship Finalist.

I absolutely love reporting and in my spare time I enjoy reading. I especially love all things sports and Mizzou.

<b>Beliefs:</b> I believe in telling stories fairly and accurately. And, I believe there are more than just two sides to every story. 

<b>Politics:</b> As a journalist, I remain committed to keeping a strict separation between my personal politics and my work.
