Brief Biography: I’m a third-semester graduate student at MU. I graduated with a B.A. in English from MU in 2004. Before returning to school, I worked in a literary and film agency in New York and L.A.
Hometown: Cape Girardeau, Mo.
E-mail: mecc55@mizzou.edu
Career Goals: I want to be an investigative reporter or a war correspondent.
Why Journalism Interests Me: I’m a true believer. I think journalism is important to a free people because journalists question government on their behalf. It also gives people the information they need to make intelligent decisions. People are smart, and I think that if they have the information they need, they will make good choices.
Other Interests: Led Zeppelin, gummy bears, books, current event periodicals, popcorn, politics, the Natural History Museum in New York.
