BBC News is the department of the BBC responsible for the gathering and broadcasting of news and current affairs. The department is the world's largest broadcast news orgnization and generates about 120 hours of radio and television output each day, as well as online news coverage.

As an online writer/producer and interactive journalist covering the United States, I draft stories for the web and create cross-platform features.

Discovery Channel News is the science-focused news division of Discovery Channel. As a staff member in this department, I researched, scripted, shot, hosted, and edited almost every segment I produced. Discovery Channel truly teaches its producers how to operate independently. These reports were used for both Discovery.com and for broadcast on Discovery Channel International.

Per request from Discovery Channel, I was asked to return as a contractor to create and produce a pilot for Discovery´s first original series made specifically for the web. This travel-based show tentatively entitled Highway Science emphasizes incredible amounts of viewer interaction via web applications like Livestream, Twitter, and Google Latitude.

Around America in 2.0 was an web-based video journalism project aimed at exploring trust and connectivity on the Internet. In 2007, I posted a video request to several popular websites asking for volunteers to drive, house, and feed me on an 80-day trip around the country.

It worked. I lived with and was transported by 56 volunteers from around the continental United States. I then filmed my adventures and those I met along the way and produced a daily web show from the footage on the project's site.

Check out archives from the show and the video that started it all here.

The Tokyo Shimbun has a daily circulation of four million in Tokyo and Nagoya, Japan, and is one of the largest newspapers in the world. At The Tokyo Shimbun, which translates to The Tokyo Newspaper, I worked as one of four reporters in the New York City foreign correspondence bureau. Although I did some reporting from the United Nations' Security Council on the disarmament of North Korea, I got my start primarily reporting on web technology, media, and science. From interviewing the founders of Myspace.com to exploring the abandoned tunnels of the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste disposal site, I sharpened my skills while working directly with two of Japan's most successful international journalists.

There are many benefits to being trained at a young age at a foreign bureau. What it primarily taught me, however, is how explain extremely complex subjects to culturally diverse audiences; therefore teaching me to keep my reports as clear and concise as possible.

Simons Foundation is a nonprofit that promotes research in the areas of science and mathematics. As a freelance journalist at the Simons Foundation, I created an archive of video interviews with neurologists and geneticists on the subject of autism research. I scripted, shot, edited, and produced each interview. In addition, I recorded and produced audio interviews out of the conversations I had with each scientist.

Alive in Baghdad was a weekly news program distributed via RSS. The show employed Iraqi journalists to produce video packages each week about a variety of topics on daily life in Iraq. Through the work of a team of Americans and Iraqi correspondents on the ground, Alive in Baghdad showed the conflict through the voices of Iraqis. I volunteered my services here on and off for over a year as a contributing editor. Along with the project's founders, I edited transcripts and cut up large amounts of Arabic footage into 5-minute news reports.
