I tell real stories about real people. Data reveals the problem. Interviews highlight those affected. And research offers potential solutions. That’s my approach to investigative journalism.This formula has helped me produce award-winning stories. I have unveiled everything from military sexual assaults to a multi-million dollar bribe. I also uncovered how environmental contamination and land usage debates fueled a secret skatepark.From feature stories to breaking news, I am embedded in my communities. Search engine optimization and social media management help me share my work with readers. I then analyze my audience engagement metrics to inform future reporting decisions.I have applied these skills at Patch, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The News Journal and FOX Sports. I also led my college newspaper, The Review, as editor-in-chief.Reporting is my passion, and I’m proud to be a journalist. In my free time, I love to water ski and travel. I’ve visited 13 countries, from China to Argentina. I especially enjoy Latin America, where I can practice my Spanish. I’m currently an intermediate speaker, but I hope to one day become fluent.
Listed skills include Public Speaking, Research, Interviewing, Hard News Reporting, and 2 others.
