Hello readers!

I'm a journalism major at DePaul University expected to graduate this June. In the meantime, I'm focused on studying for my personal training certificate through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and interning with Carol Marin at NBC 5 Chicago and of course, at Womensforum.com.

I've written for The Red Line Project, Abroad 101 blog and The DePaulia, DePaul's student newspaper. I received an Online News Association award for my attribution covering the G8 Summit for The Red Line Project. I absolutely love writing because it has allowed me to educate others and share my experiences from traveling and living in Chicago. I have been lucky enough to report from Greece as well as Rep. Duckworth's Election night party in 2012.

I'm a big fitness junkie with an itch to explore new places. I studied abroad in Greece for a semester and I love inspiring others to travel as it opens up your eyes to an endless amount of knowledge about the world!
