Who I am personally is my calling card professionally. I create unique, imaginative work. Whether it be on-air, on paper, or behind-the-scenes, living life as a media enthusiast is my passion without bounds.

BACKGROUND:

1) Small-town Kansas girl with pride for community, an insatiable love for writing and embarrassing knack for remembering pop culture tidbits. Collegiate volleyball player, K-State transfer and graduate.

2) Editor/Main Reporter for St. Marys Star newspaper (oversaw and created content, layout and design, increased readership and social media presence by 200%)

3) Web Editor/Reporter/Producer for Channel 6 News (increased social media presence by 40%, created own weekly entertainment segment, produced lifestyle talk show and daily newscast)

WHY ME? I create material that isn't cookie-cutter. Hire me and you'll get a self-starting professional who will make your organization stand apart from the noise.
