Video

Below are exam­ples of video projects I cre­at­ed dur­ing my time as a jour­nal­ism major at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Con­necti­cut.

Sports Package

The first sam­ple is a video project pro­duced for my Sports Report­ing Across Plat­forms jour­nal­ism course, taught by ESPN Pro­duc­er Steven Buck­heit. The course focused on the evolv­ing land­scape of sports media and report­ing. For this assign­ment, I pro­duced a full sports pack­age that includ­ed an on-cam­era lead-in, fol­lowed by high­lights from two games. I was respon­si­ble for writ­ing the script, edit­ing the footage, and cre­at­ing a detailed shot sheet to guide the voiceover. All aspects of the project—writing, edit­ing, and production—were com­plet­ed by me.

TikTok

Dur­ing my senior year, I’ve worked as a Con­tent Intern for UConn Ath­let­ics, where I cre­ate engag­ing and trend-dri­ven videos for the offi­cial @UConnHuskies Tik­Tok account. My work focus­es on pro­mot­ing upcom­ing games, high­light­ing team per­son­al­i­ties, and build­ing a strong con­nec­tion between UConn fans and our ath­let­ic pro­grams. By tap­ping into cur­rent trends and sto­ry­telling, I aim to fos­ter a sense of com­mu­ni­ty and school pride across all sports teams.

As part of my intern­ship with Kris­ten McCo­ry, an inte­ri­or design­er based in Con­necti­cut, I assist­ed with rebrand­ing efforts and cre­at­ed con­tent for her page using Can­va.
