My professional work with social media began at KOMU when I volunteered as a digital producer in the sports department. I spent a summer full of evenings in the sports office curating stories and updates from local high school and college athletics, as well as professional teams in St. Louis and Kansas City.
As my experience and digital skills progressed, I moved into the newsroom where I began work as a news digital producer and assistant at the assignment desk. I became better at communicating messages effectively through web stories and social media. I've experimented with social media reach and techniques through KOMU social media, as well as by helping aspiring musicians run social media campaigns.

I also took on a special project called "Town Square" for MU's Reynolds Journalism Institute with the help of KOMU's interactive director, Annie Hammock. I conducted research to help broaden our reach on social media. We used viewer responses, surveys and comments to generate a conversation online, then used those elements in a discussion during one of our newscasts.
