My Work
Welcome to my online writing portfolio of work I've done throughout my time as a college student and career as a published freelancer. Included are links to my author pages from each outlet I've written for. Also included are links to other writing projects I've had published through other outlets.
​
I've been a contributor to Turf Show Times since July 2021. TST was my first introduction to online sports media, and I've written everything from NFL draft profiles to coverage of the Rams' run to the 2022 Super Bowl against the Cincinnati Bengals.

I served as a News and Features Intern and then as an Assistant News Editor for The Vidette, an online student newspaper at Illinois State University. There I covered breaking news, on-campus and local events and even served on the editorial board.

IHSA 50th Anniversary Celebration
​
I was commissioned by the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) in October 2024 to write profile stories to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the football and volleyball state finals. For this project, I interviewed former players and coaches from several of the top 10 schools listed.

I covered the Denver Broncos as a contracted contributor for Heavy Sports from August 2023 to May 2024. Like TST, I covered all aspects of the Broncos, with a more hard-lined journalistic approach.
