At WUFT News I wrote and published four online articles and interviewed over 15 people. I worked with the editors to clarify any information and to move my story through the process to final online publication. The news organization covers all of north central Florida, so I liked to find diverse stories that covered this broad range, sometimes driving over an hour to interview sources in person. I also photographed all articles and wrote concise captions for each. For two of my stories I created photo slideshows, ordering the photos in a sequence that would make the most sense to the readers. Whenever I drove to interview a source, I brought my Nikon to ensure I could capture important moments. In the newsroom I edited over 20 articles, improving AP Style, grammar, syntax and organization without changing the authors original voice. If I had any questions or suggestions, I contacted the authors by phone or email so they could give me a better understanding about their story. This collaborative effort between editors and authors often made for a more developed story that covered all sides of a topic.

I also profiled renowned dubstep violinist Lindsey Stirling, interviewing her about her childhood, her love of music and her upcoming performance in Boca Raton. I assisted with high fashion photo shoots, organizing designer shoes and accessories, steaming the clothing samples, and mailing the sample products back. I managed Wedding Illustrated’s Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest accounts, keeping up with notifications and new followers daily. One of my main and ongoing tasks was to acquire high-resolution images for publication, and I formed good relationships with many of my PR contacts for these assignments.
