About

Need a rundown of the Chippewa Valley food scene? Coolest locally-owned shops? Vintage store recommendations in the area? An iced coffee-and-gab sesh? I'm your gal. Feel free to reach out and connect about all things related to regional + local happenings and media. If you're looking to bounce some creative ideas off of someone, I'd love to hear what you're cooking up, and even get involved if it makes sense to do so.After graduating from Winona State University with a bachelor's in mass communication with an emphasis in journalism and double minor in public relations and film studies, I landed back in my home state, Wisconsin. It just feels meant to be. Working as an editor at Volume One magazine, an independent, bi-weekly arts + culture media company founded in 2002, I am writing more and having the most fun I've had in some time. In my first year as a V1er, I was honored to receive a gold award from the Milwaukee Press Club for a collaborative video and social media multimedia project with co-editor Sawyer Hoff and videographer Ma Vue. Since then, I've transitioned into a much more involved editor – which now includes pitching my own stories, pitching stories to a growing list of contributing local writers, managing editorial interns, print layout design, and more – dabbled in social media management, and been a helping hand at tons of community-focused events.Let's connect
