For the Winter, 2008 semester at Grand Valley State University, I am in charge of writing album reviews for The Lanthorn, GVSU's newspaper. Not only am I a writer for the paper, but I am also representing WCKS 1610, GVSU's student-run radio station. I also recently took a freelance job at Revue magazine. Revue is known as West Michigan's OFFICIAL entertainment magazine. I am having a blast there writing entertainment-based pieces. This is where I believe my talents excel. I am able to be creative in a way that applies my interest in writing and music.
Please take time to look at the reviews I have done on various indie, local and major label artists.

Vampire Weekend- Feb. 4, 2008
Like Sia, Vampire Weekend was also one of my favorite artists to review. Their sound is so fresh and original, I had nothing but great things to say about this New York-based band.
I am a Journalism major, Spanish minor at Grand Valley State University anticipating graduation in April of this year. Most of my writings relate to the arts and feature writing. This is the area where I feel my talents excel, where I can be creative, but still write within AP Style.
As much as I love the arts, I also like the aspect of meeting and talking to people through news reporting. I believe that the journalism career is one where the participants keep learning, through their community, colleagues, and the people they encounter. This aspect is what draws me to a career in journalism.
