TIKTOK
My latest reporting passion project has been producing news TikToks for GBH that cover local and regional stories. So far, I’ve covered the Boston Marathon, Boston’s recent historic mayoral election, local bike lane development and at-home COVID tests. These local journalism pieces have become some of the most popular posts on GBH’s TikTok channel, with nearly 250,000 combined views and 30,000 likes.
RADIO/PODCAST
Below are some of my favorite radio/podcast features I’ve produced:
- GBH News, Local libraries stay free and open to all despite closing their doors
- GBH News, Boston Design Academy students shoot for the stars
- Talking With My Mouth Full Podcast, “Pandemic eats: ZOOM Iron-Chef competition”
- Talking With My Mouth Full Podcast, “TikTok ushers in the next generation of at-home chefs”

NATURAL SOUND PIECES
For GBH’s “Hear at the Library” radio series, we talk to Boston Public Library patrons to get their thoughts reflections on the news, current events and historic moments. These natural sound interviews are aired alongside GBH’s newscast to provide a human perspective to the daily roundup. Here are some of my favorites that I’ve produced:
- Should New Hampshire still be first in the nation?
- The Apollo 11 moon landing 50 years later
- Election 2020: What Are You Hopeful For?
- The Coronavirus crisis hits Boston
