I am a dedicated reporter with strong skills in writing, editing, photography, video editing and social media. I have embraced the changes of the evolving journalism industry by learning to build engaged audiences and staying well-equipped in the field. Whether I am covering a blazing fire, reporting on a major arrest or sitting in a municipal budget meeting, I know to keep my notepad and camera close. Today's audiences demand more up-to-date info through Twitter and Facebook and engaging images and video. I have kept up with this demand by mastering the tools to thoughtfully navigate the technology while strengthening my core journalism skills on the job.
