I'm a senior at Iowa State University majoring in journalism and mass communication, graduating in December. I was the 2010-2011 editor in chief of the Iowa State Daily, and I have interned with the Des Moines Register , CNN's Money Unit in New York, and Isthmus and the Center for Media and Democracy in Madison, Wis.
Although I attend school in Iowa, I'm a Wisconsinite at heart. This is best illustrated by my love of cheese. Second to writing, my greatest passions in life are music and politics. I enjoy playing the piano and banjo, traveling, reading and writing. I also enjoy ironing and cooking, but by no means does that make me domestic.
Although I'm a newspaper writer nostalgic for the 'old ways,' I'm looking forward to growing, changing and embracing the future of journalism.
an insatiable urge to write
