Portfolio

Here's a sample of some of my favorites pieces I've made in more than a decade as a professional journalist. I've worn many different hats over the years, so these span video, audio, data analysis, and web design and development. They include sports, politics, education, and demographic profiles. Breaking news and long-term projects. If you want to know more about these, feel free to contact me.
