Producing
I'm currently a producer at KOLD News 13, the CBS affiliate in Tucson, Arizona. Previously, I worked as a producer at KOMU 8, the NBC affiliate in Columbia, Missouri. I have been producing for nearly three years and have worked on nearly every mid-day and nightside show at both stations. Working at local television news stations has peaked an interest in community activism and focus to help build stronger relationships between our audiences and our news personnel.
Historic NASA Dart mission
I was producing our 4 p.m. newscast when the spacecraft was headed for impact. NASA had provided media outlets with information on expected impact time which I used to plan my rundown. I timed the show almost exactly as the spacecraft hit the asteroid - so we were able to take the feed live, showing the impact as it happened, including live reaction from those in the NASA control room. We were the only local station that was able to get the live feed up on air for our viewers.
