I grew up in Glen Ullin, North Dakota, and didn't want to stray too far from home.
Out of high school, I enrolled at the University of Mary.
I tried many disciplines, but I eventually ended up in the Communication department.
Photography and performance have been interests of mine since I joined the high school drama group, so I took a massive interest in the Media Production track. I started out working at KFYR - KMOT on a part-time basis during my junior year of college in 2022. KFYR & KMOT have been fantastic teachers and influences in my life helping me to grow not just as a journalist, but also into a more complete individual. Glen Ullin will always be a part of me though, and this newsroom community has just a bit of the small-town energy that I loved from back home.
