Fibonacci Fine Arts Digest

Working for "Fibonacci Digest" has been the most amazing experience. I've been able to not only learn so much, but create an amazing, quality publication. Flip through our Issuu page to get an idea of the magazine. I've contributed on every level; from creating content to finding it, layout design to distribution. The digest has given me hands on experience at every level of publishing.

The Daily Utah Chronicle

Here are some works from my days at my college paper, "The Daily Utah Chronicle." The website has been updated since I was a writer and editor there, so the images didn't transfer with each piece (such a shame), but the writing is still there. This is a good place to see where I started, how I've grown, and the range of subjects I've covered.
