ProducerI am a hardworking student journalist who has been reporting on current events since 2011. I began doing stories on mass transit in New York City and moved slowly towards social issues and pop cultures influence on current events. I have a background in multi-media journalism with my area of skill being digital/online writing. As of 2017, I am proficient in media editing programs specifically, ProTools, Avid Media Technology, iMovie, Adobe Premiere and Adobe Audition. During college, I worked at the campus news outlet, The Record and a social media site called The Odyssey Online. Most of my courses doubled as media outlets that students got to hone their skills for. I am currently a reporter for the Ithaca Times.
