Experiences

I pitch and write freelance stories including business and personal profiles, concerning topics such as the systemic criminalization of undocumented individuals and food being used to transcend cultural barriers. I have the ability to work with data and bring it to life with visualization programs. I covered an undocumented student's art performance at the University of Maryland as an individual project, documenting his social and economic struggles through his performance. I also covered a local latino-owned business which sells Salvadorian inspired snacks, spreading both culture and language to the streets of Langley Park.

I committed to hard deadlines and consistent work flows to record and edit a written news script daily. I worked in dedicated teams to create concise and informative scripts for recording.

I was taking event photography for a variety of events including live podcast recordings and live music events for WMUC promotions. Along with editing and retouching photographs taken with a Nikon D7500, using Adobe Photoshop. I was also developing and maintaining relationships with various artists' public relations managers.

I demonstrated the ability to adapt to rapidly changing conditions due to extreme weather and artist placement. I also operated and maintained a variety of filming equipment including microphones, cameras, and lenses. During his performance I captured and brought to life the storytelling elements pursued by the artist. Edited and created photographs that captured the essence of the artist's emotions.
