who i am

I am a Wheaton College ‘09 alumna interested in journalism (professionally) and many other things (as a hobby). 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 currently freelance for the Naperville Sun and have been since fall 2008.

This fall I’ll be entering an M.A. program in political science at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale.

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.”
