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
