Resume: My resume is hyperlinked in Red.

• Work samples:
• Lassiter family feature: Fun story where I knew a KU cornerback’s brother played at wideout at BYU since I covered his Juco career. The family has heavy ties to KU as their late father played there.
• How new block/charge rule will impact Kansas: This story was important to write because Bill Self teams are usually very sound defensively. A rule change like this, especially with two Naismith Defensive Player of the Year nominees, was bound to be read.
• Craig Young feature: Young never was much of a social media guy. Him being an Ohio State transfer and only at KU for two years made this a rare look at his personality.
• Lawrence Arnold finds motivation from newborn son: I was the only one on the KU beat to have any sort of news on this. Used social media to be the one to stand out in my coverage that week.
• Jalen Wilson Arm Sleeve game: This story was unique and I was nervous to ask a player about something as minor as an arm sleeve, but I knew my target audience at the student newspaper would love the story.

Projects:
