While pursuing my bachelor’s degree in journalism, I have written for The Lantern, Ohio State’s award-winning student newspaper.

I’ve always been passionate about capturing emotion and telling the story of the person, not just the player. Below are some of my favorite stories from my time as a general assignment sports writer and women’s hockey beat reporter.
