I produced daily video news stories for partner news platforms, such as USA Today, MSN, and AOL—with content surpassing ±1.1 million views. The stories covered science, space, and emerging tech for Amaze Lab. As a producer, I was responsible for pitching ideas, writing and editing for video stories—all while coordinating with a team of 40 producers, editors, and talent nationwide. My work was consistently ranked among the top three stories of the entire company. I also wrote for our lifestyle/culture, news, and celebrity news brands.

Be Coyote
Employee Engagement Campaign
Inspired by Reebok's Be More Human campaign, the Be Coyote series highlighted the experiences of passionate and hardworking Coyote Logistics employees. Each video revolved around the themes of mentorship, success, and continuous learning.
This internal campaign cannot be shared publicly, but here are screenshots to get the feel of it.
Daily Iowan TV
Associate Producer / Reporter / Technician
In addition to being a Division 1 scholarship athlete and an honors student at the University of Iowa, I was a part of Daily Iowan TV—an independent, student-run newscast airing state-wide five nights a week.
I assisted the producer in organizing shows, writing teases and scripts, and editing videos. I also obtained graphics for each story and helped reporters shoot stand-ups. Each week, the producer and I would evaluate pitches, then I would budget stories and assign them to reporters.
Getting out of the newsroom, I pitched ideas, report, and created graphics for stories. When I wasn't producing or reporting, I operated the teleprompter, cameras, and clips store.
