About

I work at the Chicago Tribune's Design and Production studio, focusing largely on sports and election and the page design that comes with them. At the DPS, I also help design weekly newspapers for different metropolitan areas, including Chicago, Hartford and Palm Beach. I also write and edit for Zakat Foundation of America, a humanitarian organization based on the principle of purifying wealth through charitable giving. At this job, I edited and proofread the Executive Director's book. This is the second book I've edited, the first being a Sci-Fi anthology unrelated to either of my above-mentioned roles.I graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism in June 2016. I covered local events, sports, politics and more while doing some volunteer editing for The Daily Northwestern. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in May 2015. I spent two years there editing for The Columbia Chronicle, the school's award-winning newspaper. It was named the No. 1 non-daily college newspaper in the country during and after my time there. I even won a couple of awards for my writing there: one for a feature and one for a column.
