Being in love with writing for the majority of my life, I have grown it into a passion as well as a hobby. With experience as a copy editor, Editor-in-Chief, English tutor and sports columnist for the Cedar Rapids Gazette, I am well-versed in a multitude of areas. As an "Iowa Journalist of the Year", I am proud to be able to own my work and write something with fire. Honestly, it may sound like I have a lot of experience, but I am still only 18 years old. However, I find this to be an attribute rather than a hindrance. Knowing what young people want, what they think and what they value is a driving factor in everything I write. Being young allows my creativity to flow as well as deepens my ability to connect with the future of the world. I know writing is not a "one size fits all" type of job. My goal is, and always will be, to write to inspire you, your company or even just one person.
