About
MY BACKGROUND
I'm a Noblesville-based journalist and writer. I have recently earned a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Creative Writing at Ball State University while I also served as the president of the Martial Arts Club at Ball State. I have also completed an internship at Monarch Management. I have a passion for writing about informative and enjoyable experiences like technology and video games, using storytelling tools to entertain the masses. While some of my experiences include feature writing, I'm more than willing to write a review or a clever lifestyle piece. I also have a knack for writing stories. I have both the skillset and academic background necessary to dive deep into the journalism field. I am an upbeat, dependable, self-motivated team player with excellent communication skills and I strive to become the best in my specific field. Here is my site to see all that I have to offer.
