As freelance feature writer and multimedia producer, I write from the heart and try to capture the authentic message of the event. In one-on-one interviews, I spend time discovering the person or organization, researching facts and asking questions. The result is an authentic perspective that connects any reader or viewer.
Past articles and videos covered a local designer turned watercolor artist, an adventurer who sells art for the villages she visits, and a landscape business where a family grows success. All were fun to produce, since there was a sense of adventure, learning and purpose to each.
Day jobs aside, I've been a writer/producer since an underground newspaper uprising landed me in journalism class during my high school years. From there, I majored in TV Production and have worked in several facets of Multimedia for over 8 years now. I'm interested in business, travel, community, design, art and people-focused feature videos. |
