rater8 Blog & Website
Since joining rater8 in March 2022, I’ve planned the blog’s content calendar, written and edited dozens of articles, and overhauled the blog’s aesthetic. Additionally, I worked with a graphic designer and other team members to develop rater8’s brand into a cohesive, consistent entity, and ensured it’s represented throughout the website.
THE PARAMOUNT THEATER BLOG
During my time as the creative marketing coordinator for the nonprofit Paramount Theater, I managed all aspects of the blog, from mapping the content calendar, writing posts, taking photos, and assembling and publishing posts via WordPress. I created nearly every post on the blog between November 2019 and May 2020.
Backstage News, Spring 2020
The Paramount’s biannual newsletter, Backstage News, features interviews with performers and community members, information about upcoming shows, and stories about special events. I worked closely with the contracted graphic designer, and I wrote half of the newsletter’s content. (Design by Liz Eure)
U of R Bulldog Blog
The University of Redlands University Communications department launched the Bulldog Blog in 2017. I contributed dozens of articles and photos to the blog during my time as UComm’s multimedia assistant.
och tamale, spring 2019
UComm publishes the U of R alumni magazine, dubbed the Och Tamale, three times annually. My photos and articles were featured in every issue from winter 2017 through summer 2019. The online version of the magazine is now housed within the Bulldog Blog. In this issue, five stories of mentorship make up the cover story, including one that I wrote about two Redlands alumni working on a cancer drug.
Och Tamale, Summer 2018
The first of two feature stories I wrote for the summer 2018 edition of the Och Tamale, this article focuses on a collaboration between the biology and studio art departments, in which they work together to make an aluminum casting of a fire ant hill.

The Redlands Review, 2018, 2020, 2021
The prologue of my novel-in-progress, Body in the Breakroom, was published in the 2018 edition of The Redlands Review, a student-run literary magazine produced by the U of R creative writing department each spring. Additionally, one of my nonfiction pieces was accepted for publication in 2020, and another in 2021. (Not available online)
Och Tamale, Winter 2018
For the winter 2018 edition of the Och Tamale, I wrote a feature story about my love and appreciation for the creative writing department. The robust program was the reason I chose to attend Redlands in the first place. (Photo by Juan Garcia)
Och Tamale, Fall 2017
I took the cover photo and wrote the cover story about beloved U of R traditions for the fall 2017 issue of the Och Tamale. The online version of the magazine used the location of each tradition to debut the new interactive campus map.
The New York Times
“Why are you excited to go back to school?” Naturally, I responded to the NYT’s 2017 call for pictures with this photo I took of U of R mascots Thurber and Addie on the day they first met.
The LA Times
When news broke that the U of R had finally selected its next mascot after a months-long search, all of Southern California simultaneously went, “Awww.” Addie made history as the U of R’s first female bulldog mascot, and several news outlets picked up the story. She’s pictured here with her predecessor, Thurber, on the day they met.
The DODO
Upon hearing about Thurber’s cancer diagnosis, U of R students sprung into action and planned an entire “graduation” just for the beloved mascot. The nine-year-old English bulldog passed away the day following his celebration. Several news outlets picked up the story.
