Below are three articles I wrote while covering Mid-Missouri, and reflect my flexibility as a writer with each piece being unique in its subjects and purpose.
This article focused on Thressia Sieben and her struggle through retirement. My team and I found that women, for a variety of reasons, were more likely to face poverty after retirement and we used Sieben as our focal point for the story.
This article focused on Bradley Ross Knipp and the inability for young farmers to truly enter the profession without going into exorbitant amounts of debt. My team and I also looked into the worrisome fact that the number of young farmers is decreasing.
This article focused on the high suicide rate amongst rural Missourians and why farmers seem averse to seeking mental health treatment. In addition to that my team and I researched reasons for this stigma and what can be done to battle it in rural communities.
