Raised in rural western Colorado, I came to Arizona State University after graduating high school in 2012 to begin my college career.

I graduated from Barrett, the Honors College and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in May 2016 with a dual Bachelor’s in Journalism and Master’s in Mass Communication degree.

When not in the newsroom, my hobbies include photography, museums, road tripping, hiking and finding the best pasta in town.
