Professional/Personal Overview
I have worked in local news for two years, one as a reporter for a mid-size newspaper and one as a freelancer for multiple news sites. I have covered a range of topics, from the first transgender mayoral candidate in Monmouth County to the logistics of blimp operation. Though able to cover hard news, I am most adept at human interest and arts-related stories.
