Executed breaking news, longform stories, side bar breakouts and explainers for a wide-ranging variety of coverage. Pitched stories and contributed to newsroom-wide editorial meetings.

Used analytics to manage our homepage and push alert strategy.

As the team’s “In Session” digital producer, I worked alongside our state capitol bureau to cover legislative sessions and statewide elections. I also reported on local politics and elections. Took ownership of our weekend coverage as the morning producer on Saturday and Sunday.
