As a digital editor at Pittsburgh's Action News 4, I have made a living on sharing the stories of my new neighbors. From breaking news copy to Instagram graphics and Reels, my work communicates the highs and lows happening in southwestern Pennsylvania with an eye towards visual-storytelling. Through our social media channels, I update our virtual audience with coverage that matters to them, using tools like Photoshop and Premiere to create posts that leave an impact. Every day, I respond to unexpected developments and sensitive situations by striving for concision and accuracy in our online content. My B.A. in English from Ball State University trained me in creative, curated communication that is empathetic to the needs of a diverse audience. In my spare time, I enjoy language-learning and linguistics study, collecting rare records from second-hand stores, and discussing fantasy novels with my book club.
