After graduating the University of Chicago in June 2024, I made the faithful decision to leave New York for Marion, Kansas, a town of less than 1,900, and take a job with the local newspaper, the Marion County Record. The Record is an independent, aggressive, and high-quality paper. While it is best known for being raided by local police in 2023, it has served the community for over a century.

I worked for a year with the Record and wrote more than 250 articles for the paper. Below are some of my best. A full list can be found here.
