Other Work History

Before starting as a full-time freelancer, I spent time on the pre-presidential campaign of former Virginia Governor Mark Warner as well as about five years as a congressional aide on Capitol Hill.

Foreign Language Skills

Rudimentary Spanish and Swahili, enough to read street signs and order lunch.

Equipment

I do a good deal of digital photography; samples can be seen at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nancyscola/. I bring all my own equipment and can provide edited photos for freelance pieces.

Showcase

General

This 3,000 word piece examines the remarkable decision by Rhode Islanders to give back voting rights to ex-felons at the very moment they live prison's gates. How did that happen? A "perfect storm" of creative local activism, national organization support, and good deal of luck.
