Professional Experience

Talented writer and photographer, with 2 years of Mizzou J-School broadcast experience, a JD and political science degree, I'm very well prepared for serious journalism presented online in the vein of Patch or the Observer's old Politicker attempt at locally sourced politics coverage. I'm one-man-band ready, with experience in shooting, editing and package creation using Final Cut. I can write cogently on issues relating to arts, culture, race relations, politics, government and science (preferring astronomy and the environment, but health as well). I'm currently in South Carolina, but have transport and will travel.
