Experience
I am a sophomore at Boise State University studying Communication and Political Science. I am a member of the Boise State Talkin’ Broncos and am currently serving as the vice president. Speech and Debate has instilled in me a passion for communicating complex ideas and has been a driving force behind my passion for journalism.
I grew up in Boise and I have a deep love for the Treasure Valley. I have had the opportunity to make connections with local business owners, activists and community members that continue to remind me how special Boise is.
