Award-Winning Digital Strategist
In January 2025, a fellow journalism alumnus and I were invited to be interviewed on BYU-Idaho’s Fulfilling the Mission podcast, which highlights students’ experiences and how they align with the university’s mission.
I was thrilled to be interviewed for this podcast—it was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on my college experience and share insights that could benefit future students!
I received multiple awards for communication, journalism, and project management as an undergraduate student at BYU-Idaho! Check them out below.
The Gordon B. Hinckley Communicator Award honors students who exemplify President Hinckley’s legacy, recognizing students with leadership skills, character, talent, diligence, and a commitment to excellence.
To receive this, you must be nominated by multiple Communication faculty, and recipients are seen as exemplary representatives of the Church, university, and department. As President Hinckley stated, “Communication is the basic element of leadership.”
BYU-Idaho’s news organization, Scroll, received first place for general excellence from the Idaho Press Club! This was thanks to my leadership and the work of my reporters, colleagues, and faculty.
This award is given to a news organization that demonstrates the highest overall quality in journalism across all aspects of their reporting, including writing, design, and coverage, within the Idaho region, signifying exceptional work across the board in their publications.

Scroll received first place for its documentary coverage of Idaho National Laboratory from the Idaho Press Club. As the pre-producer for this film, I can certainly say it was a team effort! This award is given to a video story, planned or unplanned, and it can be issue or event-oriented.
One of my reporters, Gabriela Fletcher, won first place for her article: Idaho and the Energy Future: MARVEL microreactor paves way for clean energy.
