Some of my audio work
HYATT COLLAPSE
For my first job out of university, I was lucky enough to snag a fellowship at a broadcast news station in a top 30 news industry. One of the reasons I was brought on was to help the station create narrative podcasts based on their other coverage. One of my favorite projects covered the anniversary of the Hyatt Collapse — the collapse of two sky bridges in a hotel 40 years ago. I helped write and edit both episodes in the two-part series, and voiced the second one, which is linked below.
SPEAKING STARTUP
I started off working at the Missouri Business Alert as a summer intern, but then joined the team as a paid employee to continue the work I had done over the summer. My main responsibility: the entrepreneurship podcast Speaking Startup. Listen to one of my favorite episodes about entrepreneurs who go on reality TV shows, "No such thing as bad 'Shark Tank.'"
HEALTH TALKS
This is a special project I worked on with KBIA during the fall semester of 2020 that focuses on conversational, honest stories related to health as told by those who experienced them. Here's one I did about a diabetic activist, her father and the price of insulin.
KBIA NEWSCASTS
While working at KBIA, first as a student and later as a paid employee, I did morning or afternoon newscasts. This involved fielding stories, exercising news judgment, rewriting stories, as well as editing and voicing under significant time pressure. Here's an example.
