About

I'm not particularly skilled at describing myself, but here's 5 things to know:
1) Graduated from the University of Iowa w/ degree in journalism this year
2) Fantasy baseball-obsessed
3) Bleed Cubbie blue
4) Can't get enough of "The Office"
5) Throw a wicked wiffleball curveball

I'm also an editor here at B/R, so if anyone wants me to look over anything just ask.
