I am currently a Multimedia Production Specialist at the Voice of America in Washington, D.C.
My goal as a journalist is to tell a story as accurately and interestingly as possible. Whether a traditional television package or graphics-heavy web report with added still photos and embedded on-the-scene live video, I have the tools necessary to produce high-quality, professionally-edited multimedia stories for large, diverse audiences.
My primary responsibility at VOA is the production of “The Inside Story,” a weekly news magazine show that does a deep dive into the most important topics of the day. “The Inside Story” blends material from our experts here in Washington, D.C. with the our numerous reporters and correspondents across the globe. I am also exceptionally comfortable on the road, logging hundreds of hours as a field producer and reporter. I have covered major events like the Hong Kong democracy protests, an interview with POTUS, the G20 in Buenos Aires, the Iran Nuclear Deal negotiations in Vienna, the FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the Boston Marathon bombing, the George W. Bush Presidential Library dedication in Dallas, and numerous presidential debates, primaries, and conventions.
I am currently editing on Adobe Premiere Pro. I am well-versed in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of products, especially with Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Lightroom.
I am a very skilled videographer and photographer, shooting primarily with a Sony PXW-Z90 and a Canon 5D Mark IV for still photos.
