I'm an incredibly passionate and dedicated journalist. I have always been fascinated by news and storytelling. I've been working in news since I was in high school, so I've been writing for about seven years now. I have experience with writing in both broadcast and print styles, editing videos, pitching stories, working with affiliates, and coordinating.
