Reporting
This section features a range of reporting work I’ve done throughout my time at UT—from live broadcast segments with Reporting Texas TV to written stories and video packages produced in journalism courses. It also includes my early work as Executive Producer at Hawk TV, where I first discovered my love for fast-paced storytelling and newsroom collaboration. Each piece reflects my growth as a reporter, my curiosity as a storyteller, and my commitment to creating content that informs, engages, and connects with real people.
