At WGCU, I delve into complex aspects of the Everglades restoration, climate change, and the vast and diverse ecosystem of Southwest Florida. I unearth stories using a combination of shoe leather, social media, and scholarly research. I craft written stories for our website and our sister stations throughout the state. I script, voice, and produce tight broadcasts, narrating environmental news that informs, entertains, and often shapes public discourse. The commitment to accuracy, detail, and authoritative telling of the most important developments within South Florida's environment helps WGCU's ratings remain among the top outlets in Southwest Florida for trusted content online, on-air, and on television.I report on a vast area using a large network of trusted sources gathered during 20 years of reporting on the state's environment. I discover my stories through ethical reporting and research and deliver them with passionate storytelling. Thoughtful reflection on the pros and cons of who or what may be affected by our coverage is given before the reporting starts. The issues in the Everglades are diverse, complex, and multi-faceted, yet demand attention. My features focus on unique ecosystems, whether human or animal, worthy of a singular look. My explanatory pieces teach lessons not soon forgotten. My investigations save lives, places, and traditions, and not always only those of animals or critical aspects of the environment.
