Experience
I joined Boise State Public Radio in 2023 and have since covered everything from fireworks to Christmas trees during my time as an intern. Whether it’s drafting interview questions or editing soundbites, I love diving into each and every part of the journalistic storytelling process. I’m an Honors College student at Boise State University, where I major in Interdisciplinary Studies with minors in Communication and Media Studies. I’m also earning two certificates, one in French and one in Content Production.
Professionally, my experience includes news writing, interviewing, audio editing, and podcast production, plus some graphic design and digital marketing. But this list is far from exhaustive –– I’m always learning new things.
