About

I'm 25 years old and I'm a graduate from Western Michigan University with degrees in creative writing and journalism. I've been a sports fan my entire life, and I'm a die hard Tigers fan.

I previously wrote weekly columns for the Kalamazoo Weekly on either the local minor league hockey team, the Kalamazoo Wings, or the minor league baseball team, the Kalamazoo Kings as well as reporting for WMUK, an NPR affiliate station in Kalamazoo.
