About Me:

When I joined the staff of The MIHS Islander, Mercer Island High School's independent student-run newspaper, I was a 4-foot-11 freshman with a passion for the Seattle Seahawks.

​

Four years later, having grown eight inches and served as the Sports Columnist and Sports Editor, I am now the Editor in Chief.

​

Sportswriting is my passion, but there isn't a story that I do not enjoy writing. I also love taking photos, designing print newspapers and editing other articles to help my peers become the best journalists they can be.

​

When I'm not hunched over my laptop in my newsroom, you can find me running cross country, skiing, playing saxophone and yes, watching the Seahawks.
