As a writer

I’ve covered topics ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic, major weather events like the Texas winter storms and an Instagram museum in Dallas over the past few years. I've traveled to places like the top of a landfill to follow a story and delved into local city budgets to see how much we pay for police. I’ve written hundreds of articles to keep our communities informed. Explore my work below for yourself.

WFAA News 8 Dallas

As a digital content producer, I write an average of 2 to 5 stories a day. A typical day includes COVID-19 updates, several crime stories generated from news releases, one or two community news stories and potentially work on an original piece of reporting.

During my time at WFAA, I've extensively covered elections on the local scale. As part of that coverage, I created voter guides in multiple cycles for millions of people in the area, including guidance during the pandemic-fraught general election of 2020.

I've reported on topics ranging from the racial justice movement to scientific developments in the fight against COVID-19 to a weekly round-up of events in the area.

As a digital journalist, I've become a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. I learn on the job about the topics I cover as I seek answers to help our audience better understand the world around them.

WBIR Channel 10

As a digital content producer, I wrote anywhere between 3 to 8 stories on an average day from news releases or user-generated content, as well as independent research for bigger stories like sweeps theme weeks. I also edited a number of reporters’ stories each day and served as a second pair of eyes for other digital team members.

Vox Magazine

I held several roles while at Vox Magazine. As a contributing blogger at Vox, I pitched and wrote local travel and culture-based content weekly. I also collected courtesy photos from sources or shot photos/video to accompany stories. I also was a part of the social media content production team, creating social media promo videos, teasers and behind-the-scenes explainers. I worked as a multimedia reporter as well in the Arts and Books department, covering cultural events, businesses and demonstrating DIYs in Columbia, Missouri. 

Missouri School of Journalism

While a student at the Missouri School of Journalism, I worked as a multimedia reporter covering mid-Missouri topics ranging from the economics of barge traffic to how some are working to restore disappearing cemeteries and “bring them back to life.”

MO Road Trips

My old blog, MO Road Trips, centered on different short-term travel adventures I took and places I explored along the backroads of Missouri. The blog evolved from just a travel log into a place for my thoughts on travel and fun activities as well. It was a great way for me to share the gems I had found over the years.
