Written Work
White House demolition sparks anger, an appeal to stop – and a shrug – Capital News Service
As the lead photographer for Capital News Service, I often found my own assignments to cover for file purposes. Initially, I went to the White House to photograph the demolition of the East Wing, but as I watched around me, I heard such strong reactions from spectators. I decided to interview people and get a sense of different thoughts. I struck up casual conversation with spectators who seemed interested in sharing their thoughts. I identified myself as a member of the press and asked if they would be interested in sharing their thoughts with me on the record. I answered questions about identity, fact checking and quelled fears of misrepresentation. Each person I approached agreed to an interview. I loved writing this story because I learned about the experiences of three very different people and how their lives channeled their emotions in that very moment.

Local metalheads connect, rage together at Shellfest II concert – The Diamondback
I pitched and reported a piece about the Metalheads of Maryland's Shellfest II event, a metal concert with performers across the Maryland area. I spoke with current club members, UMD alumni and local metalheads unaffiliated with the university. In addition to laying out images throughout the piece, I also created a GIF composed with different scenes throughout the evening and a b-roll compilation to provide a more immersive reading experience.
