DIGITAL JOURNALIST AND PRODUCER. CHASING NEWS AND AUDIENCES IN BROOKLYN.

ABOUT ME

I’m a digital journalist and video producer with more than a decade of experience telling engaging stories where audiences are. I’ve created award-winning work and strategy in print, on social media, in your podcast feed and most recently, on your favorite streaming device at ABC News.


MY WORK

ABC NEWS LIVE

I'm a producer/editor for ABC News Live’s dayside team. In this role, I’m the final set of eyes on every video element that makes it to air, and the primary crash producer for quick-turn segments.

I’ve also worked on specials airing on the channel and Hulu, as well as packaged pieces (like the one to your left) that have appeared across ABC News’ broadcasts.
Contributions: Writing, editing, production

LX NEWS: NEW YORK

When the NBC Owned Stations group launched its new digital channel, NBCLX, they approached WNBC’s digital team to create the channel’s first market- specific content. Our hourly cut-in was the result. We wanted the segment to feel native to the channel, which blended digital and broadcast storytelling techniques, but to also to have a little bit of New York attitude.

Contributions: Senior production, strategy, writing, field producing, editing and delivery

LISTEN UP

Listen Up is NBC 4 New York’s daily social media show, created to reach audiences on Instagram, Snapchat and now TikTok. I also led production for several live specials, including from the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting, the Met Gala and New York Fashion Week.

Contributions: Writing, editing, line production and strategy.

THE DEBRIEF

The Debrief podcast is WNBC’s weekly conversations podcast, featuring reporters notebooks from reporters in the field and chats with newsmakers and experts in the tri-state area. When I took over production of the show, I added a video feed from tapings to the station’s YouTube channel, exponentially expanding the podcast’s reach. I also produced a 5-part series on the disappearance of Gabbi Petito, which won best podcast at the New York State Broadcast Association Awards.

Contributions: Editing, writing, production & strategy.
