Authentic Storytelling

I believe we all have a superpower – a way we are meant to contribute to the common good. I first discovered my superpower in the third grade when I fell in love with expressing myself through words. Two decades later, my passion for storytelling only grows. By chance, I was placed in a journalism elective course as a sophomore in high school. I quickly found joy in hearing and telling others' stories. I continued to pursue this passion in college, later earning a B.A. in Public Affairs Journalism from The Ohio State University in 2022. I also obtained a minor in Political Science, focusing on politics in media. In January 2022, I joined CityScene Media Group as an editorial assistant. After graduation, I freelanced before being hired full-time as an editor. Through my job as an editor, I became a jack-of-all-trades. I wrote, edited, interviewed sources, managed content, took photos, researched, crafted social media posts, and uploaded content to the website. In spring 2024, I took on the role of Intern Coordinator in addition to my duties as an editor. This experience taught me how to be a leader by recognizing what motivates others and nurturing it. I also started handling tasks more related to marketing, including using Google Ad Manager and Canva while working with advertising clients. It is impossible to become stagnant as I constantly teach myself new skills, take creative risks and look for ways to improve. One day I could be researching and writing about travel, and a couple hours later I could be writing about home renovations. I have interviewed sources with ages ranging from five to 103 years old. I resigned from my position at CityScene Media Group in June 2025 and relocated to Las Vegas, NV. When I'm not writing, you can find me at a concert, in a desert or forest, or visiting a local brewery. I am passionate about music, behavioral health and experiencing new cultures.
