For the past four years I have been involved in sports journalism with various freelance jobs or work with college newspapers. Prior to graduating from the University of Wisconsin - River Falls journalism school, I attended Winona State University and was a sports reporter and assistant sports editor for the Winonan, which covered the Warriors mens basketball team that made it to the Division II national championship game thre straight years, winning two of them. For a summer internship after Winona, I took a post with the Pierce County Herald in Ellsworth, Wis. At River Falls, I was a sports reporter and editor for the Student Voice.  One of the highlights while at River Falls was creating one of the first blogs on the Student Voice website that we called &#34;Between The Pipes&#34; for the mens and womens hockey teams. I also won a Wisconsin Newspaper Association award for a story on the UW-River Falls womens team winning the conference tournament and advancing to the NCAA tournament.

In 2009 I started writing for Press Publications as a freelance sports reporter. Last November, I jumped on board with College Hockey News and the Minnesota Hockey Hub to fulfill my hockey needs.

At Patch, I hope to continue writing about prep sports, whether it&#39;s game coverage, feature stories or the many changes that are happening with the Minnesota State High School League. Patch is expanding, which means the sports coverage will be as well. High school sports is refreshing to watch with the love and passion the student-athletes have for the respective sports they play in. With Patch, I love all the different types of sports stories that are done, more so with the changes that are being done with the facelift of the class system.
