Writing

I’ve been writing for publication since I was a freshman in high school — and we’re not talking some dinky school paper, either! I fell in love with journalism as a NeXt section correspondent for The Buffalo News, and since then, I’ve had the opportunity to write for numerous outlets. Here’s a fairly comprehensive list (with links!):
