I'm a journalist covering news and sports in Oklahoma
I've been working at the OU Daily for over two years, and I've interned with The Oklahoman. I've covered protests, business, campus diversity, Oklahoma football and Sooners softball. This summer, I will intern with News21, doing group reporting on hate groups, hate crimes and their victims.
