REPORTING & PRODUCING

KBIA Radio

As an editor and advanced reporter for KBIA, I learned how produce stories for both day turn and feature audio pieces. I gained experience reporting in the field, crafting focused-scripts and assembling audio in Adobe Audition. My editing shifts taught me how to write tightly for air and to create structure and narrative in scripts.

INFOGRAPHICS

Columbia Missourian

The Columbia Missourian infographics desk publishes a range of data visuals including heat maps, bar and column graphs, pie charts and illustrations. I used Adobe Illustrator, Tableau and Datawrapper to create both print and interactive graphics. During my time as an infographics reporter, I successfully pitched both quick turnover and long-form stories.
