My time writing for the Bismarck State College campus newspaper has made me familiar with the needs and expectations of contributing to a student-run newspaper, as well as honed my skills in both researching and writing news & feature stories and opinion pieces. The journalism classes I am currently enrolled in at UND will also continue to make me a more effective reporter and improve the quality of my work for the Dakota Student.
Performed a variety of maintenance and custodial duties. These duties required frequent collaboration and teamwork with fellow employees and supervisors. The visible nature of the job also meant frequent interaction with the general public, where clear and respectful communication was crucial.
In my free time I greatly enjoying writing fiction stories, specifically historical fiction and mysteries. A long-term writing goal of mine is to one day finish and publish a novel.
