About

I’m a storyteller who uses a number of platforms. With a background in writing and reporting, I’m as comfortable composing a 1,000-word in-depth story for print as I am shooting and editing a three-minute video for the Web. Or a 140-character update on Twitter.

I also have experience with audio, photography, Web design, content management, online community management, newspaper layout and copyediting.

When reporting I don’t think, “How can I write a great story?” but instead, “How can I tell a great story?”

I am currently editor at large for online and multimedia at The Miami Hurricane. I previously served as editor in chief during the 2007-2008 school year.

I’m a senior at the University of Miami in Florida, where I’m majoring in journalism and political science and minoring in Spanish (digame!).

My professional experience includes working as a metro reporting intern at The Miami Herald (summer 2008), where I also shot and edited several videos. I have also interned at the South Florida Sun Sentinel (summer 2007) and Jewish Journal (summer 2006).
