Rural newsroom ambassador (Missouri School of Journalism)

Substack

Work + Life is a new venture, combining my interests of career and well-being with my love of writing. This newsletter blog is an exercise in persuasive argumentation, creative problem solving, and abstract ideation. It's also an attempt at cleverness, wit, and profundity. Note: I said "attempt."

Photography

I specialize in portrait and special event photography. I have taken pictures professionally for fashion shows, family photos, headshots, and graduations. I've also been hired as a videographer and video editor for drone shoots, compilation videos, and marketing/branding materials.
