Currently I’m a photojournalist intern at MLive in Flint, Michigan and a 2024 graduate from the University of Iowa with a B.A. in journalism and cinema with a minor in history.

After graduating in May, I spent the rest of 2024 at The Minnesota Star Tribune in Minneapolis as an intern covering daily assignments and pitched stories.

After four years as a filmmaker and photojournalist for The Daily Iowan and three years as a member of the Daily Iowan Documentary Workshop, I became the managing visuals editor in fall 2023 at the DI.

During my time at the DI, I’ve led a staff of documentary photojournalists and filmmakers through daily coverage of news, features, and sports. Outside of daily coverage and the production of two feature-length films and a photobook, a majority of the stories I tell focus on aspects of rural communities ranging from small towns, politicians, and racing.

In the summer of 2023, I interned for The Oskaloosa Herald which connected me back to my small-town roots. There I highlighted local events and spotlighted local figures.

Client List: MLive, The Minnesota Star Tribune, The Oskaloosa Herald, The Ottumwa Courier, The Gazette, The Des Moines Register and The Daily Iowan.
