What started as a far-away 6th grade dream, imagining myself as an undercover investigative journalist like Nelly Bly or buzzing about the hottest current events like Anderson Cooper, turned into published work as an op-ed columnist for Eden Prairie News. Over the years, I’ve grown my journalism footprint.
