I have a passion for producing investigative explainers through the use of animated data visualization and 3D graphics. My ability to utilize After Effects to convey conventionally 'boring' subjects in an enticing way amassed ~60 million views on TikTok. In my time at the Daily Forty-Niner my videos garnered over 100,000 total views, increasing average per-reel viewership by 5x compared to the semester before my internship. My work has been recognized through various awards, including a national Hearst Journalism Award in the category of Narrative Story Telling and two 1st place awards for Best News Video and Best Vertical Short Video from the California College Media Association.
