  • This portfolio is the consequence of more than a decade's worth of creative work fueled by copious coffee consumption and my passion for the following disciplines

    Journalism

    I hold a journalism degree from Michigan State University and have written for media outlets and college publications in Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and Lansing in both print and online formats.

    Social Media

    I have managed the accounts of Detroit-area businesses, driving foot and web traffic respectively to their physical locations and digital storefronts with photography/video content that illuminated their products and/or services.

    Marketing

    I've helped a big data software company hone its content marketing collateral on a creative level and briefly spearheaded the content strategy of a small web agency while being mindful of inbound marketing best practices.

    THE NIGHT I RAN AWAY FROM HOME

    2025年7月24日
    Despite fulfilling four out of the seven Roman Catholic sacraments and regularly attending catechism every other weekend, I’d had it. Trading an hour of Sunday mornings out of my “busy” teenage schedule for an hour of interactive sleep deprivation to me was absolute nonsense. So one day, I stood...

    MICHIGAN, YOU'RE MY HOME

    2015年6月29日
    Earlier this year, I was still an unemployed journalism graduate staring at dismal job boards while  getting calls from recruiters seeking salespeople for health insurance. I hated where I was born; where I was still living. I hated Michigan. Fast-forward to this past weekend. I didn't just see...

    IT'S TIME TO RESCUE JOURNALISM FROM CORPORATE AMERICA  

    2015年5月21日
    During the first class of a media law and ethics course I took in undergrad, our professor broke a sobering truth into us: “Money Always Wins.” And she was right. Consider that in 1983, 50 corporations controlled the news media in the United States. Today, only six corporations (General Electric,...

    8 REASONS TO TAKE YOUR COFFEE BLACK

    2015年3月23日
    Each weekend can be an escape. In order to distract ourselves from the monotony of our lives, we may smoke doobs while cruising around random neighborhoods, pound Red Bull/vodka shots like Greek life neophytes, or snort lines of coke and pretend that we don’t have a drug problem. But come Monday...
