About Joe »

I'm a recent graduate of DePaul University and aspiring journalist. I have a Bachelor's in journalism with minors in Spanish and political science. I have worked as an intern at The Chicago Reporter and the Chicago Tribune.

I have been a sports lover for as long as I can remember. A Chicago native that has lived in the Twin Cities since the age of six, I am a hybrid fan. I root intensely for the Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs, but have taken sides with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Wild since living up here.

I really enjoy editing other people's work, which is mostly what I will be doing here for Bleacher Report. I love getting feedback and discussing the best way of expressing something, so don't be afraid to call me out.
