Duluth, Minnesota, United States

This is where I learned the importance of leadership, working as a team, and building a strong sense of resiliency. It's where I worked through the night at crime scenes and house fires. It's where I learned how to approach strangers and invite them to share their experiences on-camera. It's also where I built my sense of journalistic integrity -- always seeking the truth while empathizing with people who might see the world through a different lens.
