Multimedia Journalist and Creative Writer
Inside a locker room, players sag their heads in defeat, buried into their phones as they try to avoid eye contact from the media members inching towards them or a political headquarters for the Democratic party, filled with canvassers and campaign coordinators, discussing how to address the media following a defeat. These are the stories I like to cover, I live by the mantra “show don’t tell,” immersing the reader in the story. I worked as an editor, writer, and news reporter at WVUA 23, covering West Alabama and University of Alabama athletics, giving me the experience to cover events from the NCAA basketball tournament, to state and nationwide elections.
I am a versatile journalist who has experience in covering a variety of topics and writing captivating stories that are impactful to my community.
Skills
Journalism
Having written over fifty stories with my time as a journalist, I can create a story out of anything. Showing the reader instead of telling them, and hooking them into the story.
Video/Film Editing
Proficient in Edius and Adobe Premiere Pro. I have nearly a decade of editing experience, editing anything from long form to short form content.
Shooting
I was born with a camera in my hand, creating videos since I was a kid. I have used those skills to capture news in a captivating perspective.
