JOURNALSIM
I have an undergraduate and graduate degree in journalism and love reporting, digging up information and telling true stories. Below are radio, video and print stories I reported, produced and edited while attending Columbia Journalism School.
RADIO
Podcast style stories as part of a class led by Daniel Alarcon.
BODY TALK
Yasminetheresa is a doula. Her sister, Amira, has some news. Together, they set off on a journey from silence to sisterhood. Radio Feature produced for True Stories in Sound. Reporting, audio recording, writing editing and sound mixing by me. Editorial advisor: Daniel Alarcón.
THERE’S A MONSTER IN MY UTERUS
It’s not Rosemary’s baby, but it’s making these two women totally crazy. These two strangers quickly form a bond, almost like lab partners: both trying to troubleshoot why they’re losing their minds. Radio Feature produced for True Stories in Sound. Reporting, audio recording, writing editing and sound mixing by me. Editorial advisor: Albert Samaha.
VIDEO
Explainer, profile and video story reported, filmed, animated and edited by me.
OXYTOCIN LOOP EXPLAINER
A short animated explainer I made in After Effects about the science behind the bond between humans and dogs. Completed in a few days.
DUCKMAN
This New York busker has one mission in life: making people laugh and happy. But behind his bright and quacky exterior lies a dark past. I reported, filmed and edited this video profile in a week.
THE VET VAN
Short feature news segment about a low-cost veterinary clinic serving up to 50 clients a day. This story later became a full documentary.
