That means integrating and building my broadcast, web, and digital skills!I'm currently a freelance writer and content producer where I write and market digital content using social media and web content platforms. Previously, I've worked as a producer for the 11-Alive News Help Desk and I've also done digital media work for Everywhere Agency, including researching and compiling content for agency online and social media platforms. All journalists need a digital footprint, so I created the The Vibrant VJ, a digital alias that combines my love of creative visual storytelling, social media, and tech. Don’t forget to read my blooming blog and connect with me on my other social media platforms (find them on website links in my profile). My 2012 digital goal was to build and improve my programming skills! I’m currently learning more HTML and Javascript with practice, tutorials, and a little help from my digital cohorts. Ruby and Python are on the way! News, long-form video, and documentaries are my passion. In spring 2010, I spent a week in Haiti shooting a news style documentary called Home to Haiti, a piece which followed two Haitian born students whose first time returning to Haiti was after the earthquake.Since then, I've been interested in social media, technology, and digital platforms that help news and documentaries get produced and seen.
