TV News Producing
Breaking News
A producer must be able to do a 180 when breaking news happens.
News Specials
I have produced several long-form specials for television & digital.
The Emmy-winning ‘Power to Change’ examines the monumental impact of George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis — one year later.
‘Brake for Buses’ aims to raise awareness after a troubling increase of school bus accidents in Minnesota.
Newscasts
I helped build an innovative show from the ground up. ‘Breaking the News’ is a long-format, modern newscast that has seen continuous year-over-year audience growth since its debut in 2016 & has set a new bar for local news programming.
