As a mentor, I bring 20 years of experience as an avid editor at ABC News. I can offer students valuable insights into professional editing techniques, news production workflows, and how to craft compelling stories through video. Having worked in a fast-paced news environment, I understand the importance of meeting tight deadlines and can share strategies for thriving under pressure. I’m also passionate about helping students navigate their own careers in media, offering guidance on adaptability and staying relevant in an ever-changing digital landscape.
