I am a Wheaton College ’09 alumna interested in journalism (professionally) and many other things (as a hobby). I interned at The Gazette in Colorado Springs in 2010 and The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va. in 2011. I have worked as photo editor, managing editor and editor in chief of The Wheaton Record, as a reporting intern at the Vail Daily in summer 2008 and at Christianity Today in fall 2008. I’ve worked with layout, photos, reporting, editing, opinion writing and reviews; I freelanced for the Naperville Sun and other publications in the western suburbs of Chicago from fall 2008 to fall 2009.
My most recent academic accomplishment is a M.A. in political science from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. In the journalism realm, I will be covering a United Nations conference on sustainability in Germany in early September.
One of my favorite authors is W.H. Auden:
“…without a cement of blood (it must be human, it must be innocent) no secular wall will safely stand.”
And another is Evelyn Waugh:
“I should like to bury something precious in every place where I’ve been happy and then, when I was old and ugly and miserable, I could come back and dig it up and remember.”
Nice!
Vail? Suffering again.
We’ll be nearby in Beaver Creek the last week of July.
Nice work. I keep coming back for more. How about some new postings?
