I am a junior Psychology and Journalism double major at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. I work on the Bethel Tik Tok marketing team, coach a high school dance team, write for the Bethel Clarion, and am a freshman RA. In my free time, I’m likely creating fun designs on Canva, laughing over iced matcha lattes with friends, or attempting to make a good playlist for once. I’m passionate about being the funny friend, correct grammar, and finding out what makes people happy. I hope to use my journalism and marketing skills to share aesthetically pleasing truth with the world someday.
