Interactive Graphics and Databases
Patriot-News/PennLive.com Homicide Tracker:
I help to manage and develop the paper's homicide tracker. I update the graphic and table when a homicide occurs, as well as develop the "story link" portion that provides a compilation of links to other information related to each homicide. |
Patriot-News/PennLive.com Megan's Law database:
I collected data and developed a searchable database that lists convicted sex offenders listed as "absconded" across the state. I also created a separate multimedia slideshow (on the right) to publish information related to convicted offenders listed as absconded from the paper's primary circulation area. |
Video
I have experience shooting video to create fuller story packages and promote alternative storytelling.

I tweet updates on breaking news, spot news events, share published stories and stay up-to-date on other trending news stories or developments through my personal/professional Twitter account.
I also managed and curated news for a number of social media accounts (including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts) for The Pitt News during my time on staff.

Design
I coordinated helped to design major covers for special editions in The Pitt News during my time as Managing Editor. I also used Adobe InDesign to layout the daily print product of the newspaper.
I spearheaded the design for The Pitt News's 2014 Sex Edition along with then-visual editor Bobby Mizia. The design earned a 2014 Associated Collegiate Press Design of the Year honorable mention in the Newsmagazine/Special Cover category. |
Multimedia
I spent the 2014 spring semester putting together a multimedia site for a Pitt Composing Digital Media class. I covered the decline of McKeesport, Pennsylvania (a city in Allegheny County that sits about 12 miles southeast of Pittsburg) and its attempt to revitalize through the use of HUD community block grants. I produced a photo gallery, video and print story to tell various sides of the story.
