Here are some of my favorite Align pieces of mine. Every term for 11 terms, I pitched my writing piece and then worked with a photographer, art director, designer, and models to create a spread printed in the magazine issue.

As Editor, I write a letter to the reader outlining our accomplishments that term and the theme for the issue. One of my letters is on the second page of the Fall 2024 issue, “The New Frontier.”

For the F24 issue, I also wrote “Hair Done, Nails Done, Teeth Done,” a feature story on two student entrepreneurs in the beauty industry, a nail artist and tooth gem technician. This article won the 2024 Region 10 Mark of Excellence Award from the Society of Professional Journalists in the category of Retail/Small Business Journalism.

For the Summer 2023 issue, "Press Play," I wrote "Around We Go," a philosophical take on the adult animation entertainment. My team also made the cover that term.

For the Fall 2022 Align Magazine "Alcove" issue, I wrote "Don't Hate the Player," a piece on gaming sexism featuring an interview with the only female University of Oregon esports player on her team.
