About

The short: I can code, write and design.

Bios and about pages are the bane of the Internet, so I'm not going to compose a long one because you probably don't want to read the whole thing and that I don't want to type it. I'm a junior at the University of Kansas majoring in journalism with an emphasis on strategic communications. I've been the web editor of The University Daily Kansan, and I currently manage the UDK mobile app, the PoliticalFiber.com mobile app and LarryvilleKU.com, and I work part-time for Brockton Creative Group. When I'm not slaving behind a hot laptop, I enjoy a bowl of Lucky Charms, late-night/early-morning walks around Memorial Stadium, slapping the bass and finding a clean pair of jeans.

This site was designed with the help of Wordpress, Bootstrap, Icomoon, jQuery Isotope, Sass and other open-source projects.
