An editing and writing enthusiast, always seeking new opportunities

I am a freelance writer and editor from Metro Detroit. I fell in love with writing at a young age and discovered my talent for editing as a college student. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in English and History from Albion College in Albion, Michigan. While at Albion, I served in numerous leadership positions across campus. This included serving as Editor-in-Chief for the campus's award-winning news publication, The Albion Pleiad. During my tenure at The Pleiad, I published over 40 articles, including one that was honored by the Michigan Press Association Better College Newspaper Contest. Most recently, I spent my fall as a writing intern for the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society's publication, the Key Reporter.

Projects

Articles Published for The Albion Pleiad

In the three years I worked at The Albion Pleiad, I rose the ranks from a staff writer, to the Opinion Editor, and finally to Editor-in-Chief. I published 45 articles over the span of those three years and earned second place in Division II Column - News Writing at the Michigan Press Association Better College Newspaper Contest in 2022. My writing at The Pleiad included breaking news stories, personal essays, feature profiles, and even some satire writing. See More
