writer

I enjoy writing for the opinion section of various journalistic news outlets

I am passionate about diverse ideas to promote constructive dialogue and freedom of expression in an increasingly polarizing world

I have contributed to the Opinion sections of the Wall Street Journal, The Anchor (Opinion Editor), The Bell Tower, and The Gerald R. Ford Leadership Forum's website 

I was a student reporter for The College Fix where I focused on news within higher education

activist

I am active in politics where I promote modern conservatism and academic pluralism

I love attending political conferences, engaging in philosophical and political theory debates, meeting politicians, and connecting with others who share the same values

I served as the President of the Hope College Republicans, co-founded the Gerald R. Ford Leadership Forum at Hope College, a member of Young Americans for Freedom and have participated in Intercollegiate Studies Institute events

Most importantly, regardless of whether I'm on our off campus, I advocate and stand up for conservative values in a public manner
