I've always loved writing but it wasn't until I joined the newspaper staff that I developed a passion for journalistic newswriting. Sharing the stories of those too scared to share their own and breaking the news important to our community is an incredible feeling I am always pursuing.

Favorite Quote: "And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual." - Laura Gilpin's poem "Two-Headed Calf"
