  • Curating the entire story package - including photos, video, graphics, and embeds.
  • Talking through story ideas and assignments with writers and producers while ensuring that perspectives from diverse and underrepresented communities are considered.
  • Identifying what a story lacks and clearly articulating to writers how to improve storytelling and packaging.
Your profile:
