News reporter focused on business developments in San Diego and the tech industry.

I produce weekly scouting reports on players in Minor League Baseball’s California League via in-person and video scouting. I also lead the production of annual numeric rankings of top prospects in multiple Major League Baseball organizations and provide commentary for New York Times-bestselling Baseball Prospectus annual guide.

I delivered up seven SEO-tailored news stories and headlines per day and used engagement metrics to frequently publish news stories with high monthly view counts. I also edited, organized and uploaded text, images, videos and documents and other content using Microsoft and Adobe programs to The Messenger's website and audited and streamlined internal publishing workflows to reduce publishing redundancies and delays while demonstrating adaptability and the ability to work flawlessly in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

As an enterprise and breaking news writer and editor focused on public health, business and politics in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, I created an award-winning public health and COVID-19 news and resource vertical in Wordpress CMS utilizing HTML and managed daily content updates. I also used social media traffic metrics to create SEO-friendly content for Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using Hootsuite and Google Campaigns and produced multimedia content, including video, photography, and social media posts, to enhance storytelling and reach a wider audience.

I reported on San Diego's city council and mayor’s office, the 2018 mid-term election, the fourth-largest homeless population in U.S., the campaign finance violation trial for former U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter and the 2020 presidential primary for the nation's largest regional wire service. This also involved developing and maintaining relationships with media sources, community members, and stakeholders to stay informed and provide comprehensive coverage. In addition, I produced daily and weekly event calendars consisting of notable public and private events around San Diego County to be utilized by local media outlets.
