Making a difference.

While I was editor-in-chief of The Tiger, I rebuilt the organization from the ground up by implementing a new training program, operations model and start-to-finish workflow that will be used for years to come. Under my leadership, the newspaper was awarded the best college newspaper in South Carolina for the first time in eight years.

Similarly, in more than a year at The Post and Courier, I have already stepped beyond my job description. I've developed a public records templating and tracking tool used by reporters across the state, launched an elections results interactive viewer for this year's statewide primary, among other projects. My own curiosity fuels me to tell new stories.
