About Me

About Me

Media creativity is the name, sports is the game.​

​

Currently in my final year of studying towards a Bachelor's in Studio Art and English, I am also a captain of the women's basketball team, which competes in the Midwest Conference at the NCAA Division III level. Most recently, I worked as a creative services intern with the Chicago Sky, where I aided in content production and photo editing for the team's various social media accounts. Previously, I assisted the Grinnell College Sports Information Director in producing content for all 20 of the school's athletic teams. My strength lies in my ability to convey a narrative in both writing and photographs, connecting audience and subject through dynamic viewership. I am proficient in WordPress SEO software as well as the Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premier.
