Here is a combination of my work!

The Gainesville Youth Chorus

The Gainesville Youth Chorus has been bringing music to North Central Florida, and the world, for 16 years. I had the pleasure of spending time with them as they prepared for their holiday concert. I shot the film, edited the tape, and wrote the copy.

The Gotcha Car Ride

A new taxi service in Gainesville helps college student get to where they need to go; it's safe and free too. I shot and produced the video. Jessica Gable wrote the copy.

The Air Boat Controversy

Alachua County passed an ordinance banning the usage of air boats. I went out the next day to get the reaction from both sides of the controversy. I wrote the copy and edited the film for this piece. My peer, Julie Quittner, shot the film.

Halloween Corn Maze

My partner, Jessica Gable, and I went to the haunted corn maze to give the community a little Halloween spirit. I shot the video for this story and edited the film. Jessica wrote the copy.

Fallen Soldier

This story takes a look into the life of Karl Campbell, a soldier who lost his life in Afghanistan. I had the honor of meeting his uncle and grandfather who told me wonderful stories of their hero. I shot, wrote, and edited this heartfelt piece.

Game Day Fashion

Game day fashion for gators has turned into quite a spectacle! This project allowed me go inside the origin of game day fashion and how it's affecting the Gainesville community. I shot all the video for this piece, wrote the copy and edited the film.

Live Entertainment

I recently started anchoring the entertainment segment of our news show. I choose the stories I cover, write the copy and edit the video, and of course presenting the information live. This experience has been my first live studio work.

Pink Police

The Alachua County police and fire department supported breast cancer awareness by wearing pink for a day. We met some great people who were willing to share their personal stories. I wrote and edited this story. A peer helped with the filming.

Producing: Midday News Update

This is the show I produce at the University of Florida. I lead both the on air talent and the production crew through a live show. I am responsible for choosing the stories we run, managing the time, communicating with the talent while they're on the air, and putting together the graphics and stills. This is an extremely rewarding experience. I have the opportunity to lead new talent through their very first shows. Sometimes things don't always go the way I plan out, but it's always worth it. This show is live and airs every weekday.

Homecoming Parade

The 2010 homecoming parade in Gainesville is an anticipated event that draws thousands to the streets. I met up with an interesting character who gave me a tour of his car which was featured in the parade. I shot most of the video, wrote the copy and edited the film.
