Investigative and accountability reporting focused on the institutions that run East Tennessee, mainly Knoxville and Knox County. With a specific focus on the Knoxville Police Department.

Knoxville, Tennessee Area

I am a watchdog reporter covering the City of Knoxville and Knox County mayor offices, legislative bodies and all the coming and goings in the third largest metro area in the state. I also keep up with the local members of the Tennessee General Assembly and the local Congressional office.

Jackson, Tn

I covered the Jackson City Council and the Madison County Commission along with general assignments when they become available. I especially enjoyed the in depth features and keeping local government officials accountable with tax payers' money.

Hendersonville, Tn

I covered high school sports once or twice a week ranging from games, features or events for the weekly newspaper.

Murfreesboro, Tn

I cover high school sports normally once a week, sometimes twice a week for the daily newspaper in Murfreesboro, TN. Occasionally I will cover a game at Middle Tennessee State University.

Gallatin, Tn

Similarly to my work with The Hendersonville Standard, I freelanced high school games once or twice a week for the weekly newspaper in Gallatin, TN.

Greater Nashville Area, Tn

I began as a sports intern at The Tennessean where I wrote about everything from high school sports to helping cover the Tennessee Titans and Nashville Predators. Now I freelance for them on an as needed basis covering high school sports.

Greater Nashville Area, Tn

I brainstorm and assign stories to a staff of about 10 writers for the monthly campus newspaper. I wrote sports for two years, but now I cover the administration and fiances of the university.

Washington D.C. Metro Area

I was an intern at the news desk where I aggregated stories daily. I also covered events, like rallies and protests and wrote my own original stories as well. The Daily Caller is an online only publication downtown Washington, D.C.
