I’m a Columbia College Chicago alum with a degree in nonfiction. While at Columbia, I was copy chief for The Columbia Chronicle and editor-in-chief of The Lab Review. I organized Columbia’s Manifest Undergraduate Reading for three years and interned at the Chicago Literacy Alliance.
My four years in Chicago were filled with writing and editing; marketing, event planning, and development experience; and getting lost in good books, lengthy workshop discussions, and the city itself. Currently, I’m a communications professional and freelance writer.
