Hello! I produce video, audio, text, photo and social media content. I am passionate about digital first content.
I'm creative and an analytical thinker. I have tackled a wide range of topics: from food and culture to politics.
Right now I have a passion for working on audience engagement and the use of social media to share stories.
As a graduate of the University of Missouri, I have experience creating content for a variety of newsrooms and upholding brand voices.
During my time in news, I worked in Buffalo, New York and Chicago where I lunched new social media pages on TikTok and Bluesky.
This involved research into what our competition was doing, as well as a strong understanding of our brand. That knowledge helped me bring our newsroom voice to each platform.
In each newsroom, I helped lead social initiatives and train new team members. I was also a mentor who help new employees.
Projects
As I mentioned above, I have a passion for working with social media to share stories, direct engagement, and expand brand awareness.
Previously I experimented with new tools in journalism as a contributor to the RJI Innovations In Focus series.
One of the most fulfilling projects that I have been able to work on was the Lost on the Frontline investigative piece with Kaiser Health News and the Guardian.
