Summary
I am a visual storyteller from Anchorage, Alaska and go to school at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. I love hearing people's stories and being able to shed light on different issues and events that are happening at a local level. I wrote for my school's newspaper, The Front, on the sports and recreation beat, as well as the Klipsun Magazine's most recent issue, which hasn't been released yet. I am a photographer for the WWU athletics teams.
