Associate Producer, Social
What I cover
I produce social media content, turning LAist’s reporting into digital storytelling that keeps followers up to date with Southern California.
My background
With a history in social media and SEO for the L.A. Times, KCET, Screen Rant and dotLA, I’ve been helping LAist expand the reach of stories through creative and innovative production. I grew up right here in Los Angeles, where I covered local news in college, interned for EdSource and developed my skills for video and digital media.
My goals
I want my work to be interesting and eye-catching and also to make viewers and readers feel they've learned something new and useful before they scroll away.
