About Me
I am a recent Bethel University graduate with Bachelor's degrees in Journalism and Psychology. During my time at Bethel, I worked on the Bethel TikTok marketing team, led the Bethel Clarion as managing editor and mentored college freshman as an RA.
In my free time, I coach high school dance team and can be found creating fun designs on Canva, making magazine collages or laughing over iced matcha lattes with friends. I hope to use my journalism and social media skills to share entertaining and aesthetic truth with the world.
