My first reporting gig came my freshman year of college for the city & state desk at The Daily Tar Heel. I became a senior writer right at the end of my first semester my freshman year. I then became an assistant city & state editor at The Daily Tar Heel for a year and a half.
I’ve also worked at the Hickory Daily Record and the Winston-Salem Journal where I covered local government, education, breaking news and crime, some business and community interest stories.
The work sample below is a community feature I wrote for the Hickory Daily Record.
I’ve worked with Carolina Week (UNC’s student news broadcast program) for a year.
I then started producing the morning news show, “Rise and Shine.” And I’m headed back to Carolina Week to be one of the executive producers for the 30-minute flagship news show next semester.
This work sample is a 1.5 minute package about how a small local farm navigated the threat of bird flu... and what they didn’t do to the price of eggs.
I spent a semester working at North Carolina Public Radio - WUNC. I’m familiar writing newscast copy, voicing reporter spots and longer features. Additionally, I wrote SEO friendly digital stories for web.
