Minnesota Public Radio

I mostly do production work for MPR's news site, but I have also done some reporting.

Twin Cities Daily Planet

I wrote for the Twin Cities Daily Planet during my junior year at St. Thomas. I mostly wrote about the Central Corridor and immigration issues.

• Preaching peace at Somali mosque (external link)

• Central Corridor outreach: Good will, but do they have any power? (external link)

• Need for action, unified voice is focus of Central Corridor summit (external link)

St. Thomas student newspaper and classes

• It starts with a seed (From January 2009 study abroad, St. Thomas alumni magazine, external link)

• Tutu speaks at Metro State (St. Thomas student newspaper)

• Even during lean times, students can still count on free lunch (Broadcast reporting class)

• Mendota Heights promises aid for aging lake (Print reporting class)

Relevant class work

I'm also particularly interested in immigration and religious issues. I wrote my senior thesis in sociology (pdf) on Somali-Americans in the Twin Cities media and my journalism ethics thesis (pdf) on the ethics of covering Muslims and Islam.
