Who i am
About Me
Hello, I recently graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln studying Journalism with a minor in French. My passions within journalism include video games, culture stories and more. I am also an avid video gamer and esports lover. So in my free time you can catch me playing some of my favorite video games which include: Animal Crossing, Overwatch, Splatoon and more.
During my time in the journalism field I have had the amazing opportunity to work at The Daily Nebraska, Dundee Digital, Jacht and Game Rant.
I hope to continue my journey into the world of video game journalism.
