AScend magazine

I am a writer for Ascend Magazine, a student publication at the University of Oregon. Our first issue was published this year.

Ascend magazine examines how sports and the outdoors elevate the human spirit and create community. By immersing themselves with subjects and providing in-depth reporting, writers are pushing the boundaries of traditional sports journalism while crafting timeless longform stories and pairing them with stunning photography and design. Operating out of the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication, Ascend goes beyond stat lines and playing fields and questions what it means to be an athlete, while illuminating how sports and outdoor pursuits bring out the best of humanity” - Ascend Magazine

FIRST ISSUE:

SCott lehmann and shayna unger

Scott Lehmann and Shayna Unger, two deaf climbers attempting to be the first two deaf individuals to summit the seven tallest peaks in the world.

I got to talk with them and discuss their journey in climbing, how they got started and what’s next for them as they attempt to accomplish this huge milestone.
