About

CBS News leverages my expertise in live event production and multimedia storytelling to deliver impactful broadcasts. With over 1.5 years in this role, I manage daily live productions, ensuring seamless execution within budget while collaborating with internal and external teams. My focus on community engagement is reflected in larger annual events, where I prioritize inclusive narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. Across 15+ years in digital and broadcast media, I have honed skills in content creation, feature reporting, and live event coverage. From overseeing audio-visual components to coordinating resources, I enable teams to achieve high-quality results. My passion for storytelling extends through projects like "Stories From The 78," where I explore Chicago’s rich neighborhood history.
