"If your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate, short-term weapon." -Tom Stoppard
I am the managing editor of content for the Iowa State Daily.
As a senior at Iowa State University, I've had many opportunities to learn how to report the interesting, the impactful and the in-depth stories Iowa State students want and need to know.
I'm a self-proclaimed full-time journalist who plays at being a student when possible. I'm also a pen cap-gnawing news and adrenaline junkie, bound to develop an addiction to caffeine and a neck problem from listening for police sirens.
I've spent my senior year as the managing editor for the Iowa State Daily. My goals included moving our newsroom to a digital-first mindset while improving the quality of our content in our special sections and daily print product. Take a look at our print products here.
I plan to continue to serve readers by providing them the most fair, complete and accurate journalism possible, and I hope I will have many more opportunities to do so as I start a professional career.
