SKILLS
ABOUT ME
Motivational Speaking
I enjoy motivational speaking at a variety of engagements from schools to private events. I believe in sharing my journey of recovery from a 2011 snowboarding accident to inspire determination and the power of goal setting.
Safety Patrol
Snowboarding is my passionate hobby. As a member of the HoliMont Snow Resort team, I volunteer as a Safety Patroller. Responsibilities include monitoring snow and terrain conditions and supporting ski patrol in daily activities.
Multi-Media Journalist
As a beat reporter for TAPInto Greater Olean, I produce regular features and breaking news articles, focusing on business, government, health, and community. TAPinto is a network of 80 locally owned and operated news sites in New Jersey, New York and Florida with more than 9 million readers.
Camera Work & Editing
I enjoy working with digital camcorders, DSLR's and DJI Drones. My editing experience includes Avid Media Composer for non-linear editing, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, & Lightroom. My editing experience also includes Adobe InDesign for collaboration of media for magazines, newsletters and other print work.
SBU-TV Channel 9
Serving for two years as part of the SBU News team was one of the best hands on learning experiences of my college education. Working on a professional news set and control room, our team worked with deadlines and production assignments to create a full-speed broadcast show. SBU-TV streams LIVE weekly and reaches thousands of Spectrum cable viewers and SBU-TV digital subscribers.
ESPN+Broadcast
As a member of the SBU-TV news team, I was also privileged to work as part of the ESPN family, in front of and behind the camera, directing and producing live sporting events with the latest HD equipment.
