I’m currently immersed in Writing and Applied Arts at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay, with a concentration in copyediting and publishing. As a proud member of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society, I’m committed to literary excellence and the transformative power of language. On campus, I serve as contributing writer and book travel editor for The Quill, our bimonthly digital magazine that celebrates voice and vision from across disciplines. I also work as editor, writer, and photographer for The Northern Lights, our annual print and online publication, where I help shape stories that blend image, insight, and emotion. Beyond the university, my work appears in MockingOwl Roost, an online literary magazine where I contribute reviews spanning film, media, books, television, and games—sharpening my critical lens and deepening my love of storytelling across genres.

"Karrie is a 'triple threat' when it comes to publishing: She's a terrific writer, a gifted photographer, and a careful editor, who also has a genuine ability to make her peers feel valued and supported. She works incredibly hard and never fails to use the editorial process to take her work from solid to outstanding. I give her my highest recommendation."
