I’m a multimedia storyteller and editor with experience in journalism and PR. Most recently I worked as a PR Content Strategist and Editor at Influence & Co. I developed and implemented thought leadership and content strategies for our clients. My role called for me to keep up on current events and trends in a variety of industries — which is perfect for the news junkie in me.

I previously worked for the Columbia Tribune, covering a variety of beats during my two stints there — including city government, business, k-12 education and higher education.

The higher education beat gave me the opportunity to cover the University of Missouri at a pivotal time for the institution. I reported on race issues on campus and graduate student benefits at the university — which were among a few subjects that made national headlines.

I also have experience working for the St. Joseph News Press/FOX 26/NBC21 newsroom covering the public safety beat. Each story I covered there had a presence online, in print and on television.

My time studying at Webster University gave me a foundation for creating ethical and quality content as a storyteller. My professional newsroom experiences gave me the ability to tell stories across platforms. And my time at Influence & Co has taught me how to communicate in a strategic and engaging way.
