The Virgin Islands Daily News
St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
I was one of two reporters working out of the St. Croix bureau, tasked with covering daily news on the island and across the U.S. territory. I researched and wrote an average of three stories per day, in addition to developing longer, in-depth projects. I worked as the primary education reporter, but covered everything from crime and energy to the legislature and land development. I provided detailed reporting on the debate over education reform, and spearheaded coverage of the environmental and economic fallout from the closing of one of the world's largest oil refineries, HOVENSA.
