Oh hi.
I'm on the hunt for urban stories.
I took my adventuresome spirit to London where I spent my days as a journalist for the BBC specials department, which creates the interactive graphics for online articles. In my off time I sought video projects and art and culture reviews to develop my personal interests and writing. I got lost, I got found and I recorded almost all of it.
I spent 12 quick months at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University swarming Chicago's neighborhoods in search of stories. I covered the housing and neighborhood beat as well as the visual arts. But all of that isn't as fun as deciding how best to tell the story - whether it was video, audio, a photo slideshow or some interactive gear, the choices were and continue to be endless.
I'll tell you: I'm Canadian and proud of it. I grew up in Orange, CT and spent four delightful years in the cornfields of Ohio while getting my undergraduate degree at Kenyon College. I quickly jumped into the concrete jungle of New York City, finding some tree-sprouting refuge in Brooklyn.
The rest will be written and filmed, recorded and drawn out in the stories I find in tight corners of urban cities I inhabit. All of which I would be more than happy to do for you! If you're looking for a freelancer, for web, print or radio who does her own photography, video and audio then I'm your woman.
