In March 2025, I began my first full-time job working as a Digital Producer at WRIC ABC 8News, a Nexstar Media Group, Inc. television station.
In this role, I dive into all things web and social media, developing and leading digital content strategies to drive audience engagement through (Social News Desk, ChartBeat) across multiple platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X, WordPress). I produce several articles a week covering a variety of areas, including lifestyle, community news, crime and breaking news.
I also edit daily reporters’ news packages into 9:16 reel format for our social media platforms, adding captions for accessibility using Adobe Premiere Pro.
