I recently landed my dream job as a journalist in the scenic town of Cortez, Colorado. Here, I have the opportunity to write an array of stories while learning about a new part of America environmentally, politically, and otherwise. I graduated from Michigan State's journalism program last May with honors; afterwards, I spent time traveling abroad, freelance writing and making subpar lattes. I'm excited to set roots in one place while I grow as a writer. Though I graduated, I intend to remain a student for life. Above all, I look forward to learning and growing in this new place. I look forward to climbing rocks here, too.
