I am an undergraduate at Ball State University majoring in journalism-news and philosophy. I am an Active Voice Fellow for the Student Press Law Center, where I am working on a project that helps lift girls' voices (theactivevoice.org).
Additionally, I copy edit for Ball State University's student-run newspaper, the Daily News, and serve as the president of Ball State's chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. I also work in the BSU Journalism Workshops office as the contest coordinator and copy edit for STANCE, the only undergraduate international philosophy journal.
I am a member of the Honors College, where I am distinguished as a Whitinger Scholar. In addition, I am recognized as an Ingelhart Scholar by the journalism department. I was also the 2013 Missouri representative at the Al Neuharth Free Spirit and Journalism Conference.
