I worked in journalism for over a decade as a reporter, editor, and planner at the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Herald and USA TODAY Network.
Some of my favorite projects include:
A narrative feature on a standout high school golfer as he prepared to defend his state title
A feature on the University of Georgia football team's annual visit to Camp Sunshine, which hosts children with cancer for a week each summer
An in-depth explainer on new concussion guidelines in Georgia
An itinerary for a day trip in gorgeous Georgia town
Some other career highlights include:
Coordinating coverage and leading on-site teams at the 2018 Rose Bowl and national championship games
Covering the University of Georgia gymnastics and women's basketball teams as a beat writer
Developing and leading an award-winning project called 50 for 50, which commemorated the 50th installment of the Athens-area's most historic football rivalry game with 50 stories over 50 days. The project placed fourth nationally at the Associated Press Sports Editors contest in 2018
Developing a months-long video series tracking four area high school football teams as they chased a region title
