For two years, I was a reporter, web managing editor and host of the on-air segment Weekly Buzz at ABC 13 News in Lynchburg, VA.
I worked as a one-person-band to shoot, edit and write my stories for the weekend newscasts, for which I reported live.
As a web managing editor, I was in charge of the station's digital team, responsible for posting breaking news and updating stories throughout the day. I made sure the site was current with local, state and national news. I also designed and created graphics and categories for special features or stories our station is running. This position also entailed running our station's social media accounts, and taking monthly tutorials on how to better our SEO and online presence.
Weekly Buzz was an on-air segment that aired on ABC 13 News at 5:30. I reported on big events happening in our viewing area of Lynchburg, Danville and Roanoke.
I was also a major part of Lynchburg's first ever Restaurant Week. I hosted a "Cooking Tips" segment each day of the event featuring local chefs for a behind-the-scenes look. I love cooking and learning about different foods, so I try to incorporate that passion into my reporting whenever possible. You can watch some of my food-related stories here.
