Fueled by God’s love and a passion to learn, I constantly try new things to help myself grow. I love learning the stories of people around me. I throughly appreciate the journey of growth and I believe there is always something new to learn. With the chance to go to Ghana, I knew that it was a beautiful opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture. I look forward to working alongside other Journalists from Ghana to learn of great local stories.

Originally from humble Mid-West origins, I traveled to Oregon to appease my sense of adventure; my sense of adventure has now brought me to Ghana. I aim to constantly seek discomfort and broaden my horizons beyond what I can find in the United States. My love of writing has allowed me to work on many different projects, from a climate justice campaign to my own creative fiction. I look forward to building relationships with my co-workers as well as bringing my skill set to a new culture. When I’m not working, you can find me training for triathlons or going out hiking.
