I am a business reporter at the Battle Creek Enquirer in Battle Creek, MI. I graduated from DePauw University in May 2019 with a double-major in English Writing and Communications. At DePauw, I have held the roles in student media as sports reporter, news reporter, sports columnist, sports editor, opinions editor, and editor-in-chief of The DePauw. I also hosted a sports talk show called "Brooks and Dom at Lunch," for 91.5 WGRE.
My summers in college were just as important in building experience as a journalist. I was a reporter and photographer for The Reporter-Times, a daily paper out of Martinsville, IN, where I reported on local government, education, and sports, among other areas. During the summer of 2018, I was a News21 fellow, where I reported on hate crimes in America for the award-winning publication based out of Phoenix, Arizona.
I was also a member of the DePauw football team for all four years at DePauw. I was a three-year starter at cornerback and was named first-team all-NCAC in 2018, second-team all-NCAC in 2016 and second-team all-Midwest in 2016.
When I'm not watching sports or reading a new book, I like to work on my creative writing in my free time. I have written a short memoir, a fiction novel, and other short stories.
