My Professional Journey

TWO TORNADOES TOUCH DOWN IN METRO DETROIT

July 25, 2021

Now and then, there is breaking news that takes up a majority of your show, and that was the case when two tornadoes touched down in Metro Detroit.  By creating open lines of communication with camera operators and my reporters in the field, I was able to have a seamless show, which included phone interviews with local officials briefing us on the situation.

DART MISSION, TECH TIME WITH ANDREW HUMPHREY

November 2021

Tech Time with Andrew Humphrey is a weekly segment that discusses topics with technology or space.  Writing these segments allows me to use my creativity in a different form than traditional news production.  This Tech Time introduces us to the DART mission, where NASA launched a rocket into space to change the track of an asteroid.

VOTE 4 THE BEST PROMOTIONS ARTICLES

2017 & 2019

As a project coordinator, I was responsible for helping create a major summer promotions campaign called Vote 4 the Best.  That job also included writing articles to post to our website to promote the contest. These are some of the fun articles celebrating National Ice Cream Day and International Yoga Day.  The articles usually contained fun facts about the holiday and a link to our contest.

LOCAL 4 NEWS AT NOON

February 25, 2021

This is a typical Noon newscast where I produce and write everything myself.  It includes breaking news at the top of the show that I quickly pivoted and added about 15 minutes before the newscast began.

YE OLDE PUB TRUCK ASSIGNMENT

July 2021

Being tasked to create a fake business is not an easy feat, but I made it my own.  This is the Ye Olde Pub Truck, a food truck that looks to offer up authentic British cuisine in the heart of Detroit.  The project for my digital content promotion class is equipped with an order online area and social media accounts as well.
