about me.
I am a journalist by trade who enjoys capturing the stories that inspire humans to consider their relationship with the Great Lakes. I have worked nearly five years at three different newspapers across the Midwest, including the Traverse City Record-Eagle. Prior to joining FLOW, For Love of Water, a Traverse City-based environmental law and policy center, I held the role of marketing specialist at SEEDS Ecology and Education Centers, a nonprofit whose mission is focused on sustainable, place-based education.
I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer and served my country from 2017 to 2019 in Zambia, a land-locked country in sub-Saharan Africa as a community health volunteer, teaching about HIV and malaria prevention.
In 2024, I graduated with a Masters of Marketing degree from Southern New Hampshire University and plan to pursue a MPH in the fall of 2025 from University of Alabama.
