Producer, writer, content creator and project manager
Live Journalism + Event Production
From working at 14 East Magazine to The 19th (and freelancing with the Chicago Headline Club), my work has always existed at the intersection of journalism, events and public service. From ideation to the finest details, I move comfortably between all parts of event production.
