Signal Akron

As a freelance writer for Signal Akron, I contribute local stories that spotlight Akron’s evolving civic landscape. From policy changes to community voices, I transform meeting notes and civic data into accessible briefs and in-depth articles that keep Akron residents informed and engaged.

Signal Akron is part of the Signal Ohio network, a nonprofit news organization committed to nonpartisan, community-first journalism.

The  Buchtelite

My journey in journalism began at The Buchtelite, the student-run newspaper of The University of Akron. As a writer and eventually Editor-in-Chief, I covered campus events, student life and arts & culture, with a voice shaped by both activism and authenticity. In that role, I helped breathe new life into the publication through both storytelling and design.

Highlights:

  • Redesigned the print layout each semester—a design still in use today

  • Collaborated with Myers School of Art students to feature and publish their creative work

  • Led efforts to merge visual storytelling with editorial content, building a more engaging and inclusive campus voice
