I have seven years of experience in journalism, including an internship as a staff writer at the St. Louis Jewish Light, a newspaper with circulation of 60,000, where I wrote six articles in two weeks and was twice printed on the front page. I am presently the Northern Mariana Islands Affairs Correspondent at Pasquines, a non-profit news organization, and am editor-in-chief of Carleton's arts and culture magazine. My poetry is published in Underground Journal.
