Feature Stories
Writing feature stories is a great strength of mine. I pride myself on my range of topics and the growth of my skills over the years. I love to meet new people and learn about them through interviews. I'm drawn to the individuality of everyone I interview. I'm honored to share their stories with a public audience.
Here you'll find a variety of feature stories covering a range of topics. I'm capable of creatively relating all sorts of topics in an exciting and engaging manner. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I do!
This is a feature story I wrote for a class assignment in a news writing course I took. It details the events of a student from the University of Minnesota who spent a semester of school in Hawaii to learn about Hawaiian culture authentically.
An athlete on the Saint Mary’s University women’s tennis team was awarded Athlete of the Week for the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in their sophomore year, an impressive feat for such a young student athlete.
Saint Mary’s launched the Makerspace in 2021, a place to let creativity soar. Students can learn woodworking, sewing, 3D printing, welding and more. If you can think it, you can make it. The Makerspace provides the necessary resources to turn ideas into reality.
This is the very first feature story of mine to be formally published, about how the Saint Mary's concert band found ways to make music during the pandemic. I'm proud of my efforts and look to this story to see how I've grown as a writer.
