Experience
I joined Boise State Public Radio in 2022 and kickstarted the social media effort to post breaking and interesting news on Instagram, aiming to reach younger audiences and give them the information they want, where they are. I also work on editing digital posts from our excellent reporting staff, writing up breaking news as it happens and working on the occasional special project on topics I’m passionate about.
My professional experience includes digital marketing, breaking news and arts and culture reporting & video editing (which has become very useful in the age of Reels!) In a past life I worked as a broadcast news producer and have done some freelance social media management for various businesses. Follow me on BlueSky.
