Classwork

The George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Affairs is known for preparing journalists to lead in both print and broadcast reporting. As part of that tradition, I’ve built a body of work that spans in-depth written stories and dynamic video coverage

Beat Reporting

 As a highlighted story from my semester beat, I covered D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto’s public safety bill and the local pushback it received. The legislation aimed to reduce violent crime, but advocacy groups argued it focused too heavily on enforcement rather than long-term prevention

Video

I produced a short documentary spotlighting Malyssa Darville, a dedicated cheerleader at GW. The piece explores her passion for the sport, the discipline behind the performances, and what it means to represent the school.

MMJ Project

For my Broadcast News Reporting class final project, I reported on MPD’s temporary juvenile curfew zones, examining the policy’s intent and concerns raised by youth advocates.
