Photography
From that time I was a professional photographer at The Daily Iowan, one of the top 10 college newspapers in the U.S. I learned so much and made so many new friends at this job. Before I started here, I had only basic experience with photography from high school internships and my parents’ hobbies. Through years of coaching and awesome collaboration with other photographers, I briefly picked up the art in an effort to make myself a better, more versatile journalist. I had a lot of fun along the way.
Here are some of my favorite shots.

Videography
From that one time I did drag for charity, the other time I interviewed the Iowa City Police Department and in turn got interviewed, and the time I toured a few breweries. More experiences I’ll always cherish.
Web Design
I designed a few websites on WordPress. But don’t let my use of WordPress fool you — I’m pretty good with HTML and CSS.
