CNN




From 2018 to 2021, I worked at CNN in booking, production, newsgathering, and strategy roles, accruing bylines on the digital vertical as well as on-air script management. 

In 2020, during my tenure as a News Associate at the D.C. Bureau, I served on the inaugural Race & Equality team, which was launched as an extension of the coverage on George Floyd’s death and the surrounding nationwide demonstrations. At this time, I wrote repeatedly for the trends / culture desk while co-producing for Race & Equality, often serving as liaison for on-air talent including Susan Malveau as well as Jim Sciutto and Brianna Kieller.
