Professional/Personal Overview
Despite being 24 years old, my work has appeared in LA Weekly, The New York Post and the Anchorage Daily News. I'm experienced in reporting on city councils, covering crime and delving into complex topics: scientific research, government accountability and environmental issues. My portfolio also includes lighthearted stories of the weird and the forgotten history of neighborhood relics, both lost and preserved. Here is a portfolio of my clips: tonycella.contently.com I'll cover a moose with "sleigh hooves" just as soon as a double homicide, and with equal amounts of vigor and accuracy. I look forward to hearing from you.
