The War Within is a 10-episode docuseries that follows the lives of three military veterans coping with post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in Afghanistan. The series began pre production in August 2018 and published weekly on Facebook Watch from November 2018 through January 2019. As a producer on this project, I had a hand in pre production, production and post-production. 

Along with scheduling and organizing shoots, I filmed a few of the scenes that take place in North Carolina and Washington, D.C. I was one of the editors as well during post-production, and I played a large role in the organization of all production assets, which included music, archival video, audio files and other effects that were utilized to help the story come to life. You can watch the series on the McClatchy Studios Facebook page or on Amazon Prime. 

Trump’s inner circle: The ties to Russia is a collaborative project between McClatchy’s video team and investigative team. It breaks down the Trump-Russia investigation into profiles and timelines of key players under investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. It is the winner of a ‘People’s Voice’ award in the 2019 Webbys for Best Use of Interactive Video. I was responsible for building and editing the videos featured in this interactive web that you can view on McClatchy DC or on Verse.

Charlie Brotman was the presidential inaugural parade announcer since Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1957. One of my McClatchy colleagues and I worked as a two-person crew to interview Brotman on camera.

Afterward, I went through the interview, compiled archival footage to go with Brotman’s story and edited it into the video package above, which was published a couple weeks before President Donald Trump’s inauguration and went with several stories related to that event.

After a lifetime in captivity, the window for freeing Lolita, the Miami Seaquarium’s star orca, may be closed, activists say. As the campaign to free her continues to rage, they question whether freeing Lolita is in her best interest.

“Should Lolita be freed? What’s next for her and other large marine mammals in captivity,” was specifically produced for McClatchy’s newsroom The Miami Herald, but it was also picked up by other McClatchy outlets like The Bradenton Herald. I edited this video package, which involved hunting down archival video and photos to incorporate. I also produced the graphics and did the narration.
