I’m a proud Midwesterner that probably says “ope” more than I should. Kansas City will always be home, but Southern California now holds a special place in my heart. As a junior studying  journalism and Spanish, I’m passionate about diversity and highlighting underrepresented stories. After graduation, I hope to use my love for journalism in missional contexts. Alongside culture and all things Kansas City, I’m a big fan of Porto’s, Chacos, and my tea kettle.
