While the majority of my published work is in print journalism, I am always open to working with different media and I pride myself in my ability to adapt to new situations and technologies.
I have exerience using most Adobe Creative Suite platforms, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Audition and InDesign. I can use video and audio equipment to create content and am a fast learner when there is a skill I need that I am unfamiliar with.
Graphics Experience
I created these infographics using Photoshop as part of my coursework.
I created these infographics using Photoshop and photos I took for The Collegian to fulfill another class project. The are examples of social media posts I would make it I worked for the CSU Athletics department.
Audio Experience
Thanks to an audio production course I took at Colorado State, I am credited on two EPs of local Fort Collins bands. I mixed the song to the left using Adobe Audition. In the class, each student mixed the same songs and the bands chose their favorite mix, one of which was mine.
I am also credited as a "student recording engineer" on both EPs. In the class, we recorded each band play live in a TV studio and learned how to set up recording equipment and monitor individual audio tracks.
Video Experience
While I am by no means an expert cinematographer, I have experience from work in multiple classes shooting and editing videos. Relevant courses I have taken include "visual communications," "online storytelling and audience engagement" and "video editing."
I created the video to the left, which talks about a local business in Loveland, Colorado, as part of a class assignment that focused on telling one story through multiple media. The project helped me learn how to put together a cohesive story through interviews and b-roll (and taught me the importance of having a good tripod). The full story is listed here.
With this video, I learned how to use different special features in Adobe Premiere Pro.
This video is a short news package that accompanied another class project that required me to submit a full multimedia news story. The final assignment included infographics (pictured above), photos and a written news article, published on Medium.
