Living the Dream: Print Journalism & Design:
I'm fortunate to say I've held my dream job since high school: working in print journalism. The fast-paced, deadline-driven environment at the LA Daily News fueled my passion for crafting compelling layouts and visuals.
As Lead Sports Page Designer, I thrived under pressure, consistently delivering visually engaging sports sections on tight deadlines. Among my most cherished memories are the late-night page placements before major games and, of course, the camaraderie forged over shared election night pizzas.
Streamlining Sports Coverage Across Southern California Newspapers:
I designed captivating sports sections for a network of Southern California newspapers, including the Los Angeles Daily News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, and its sister publications. I thrived in a fast-paced workflow, consistently meeting deadlines through seamless communication with editors, writers, and pre-press technicians.
Collaboration is Key: I fostered strong relationships with photographers, collaboratively editing and refining photos to optimize visual impact for our readers.
Beyond Print: I expanded my contributions by generating engaging content to support social media initiatives and audience outreach, ensuring a well-rounded sports experience across platforms.
