The Washington Post launched Black Out, an investigative series on why Black coaches are consistently excluded from the top roles in the NFL. I led the video portion along with reporter Michael Lee, who convinced 16 of 24 living NFL former and current Black head coaches to talk about their experiences and why they were able to succeed. I coordinated the shoots, hired freelancers and assigned the video editors, keeping the project on deadline using a meticulously managed spreadsheet to ensure all 63 clips were moving through each phase of production. I pitched the idea of using vertical videos and a social media-like flow to keep the audience engaged throughout. The design was custom built for this project and repurposed for future story pages.

In 2016, I filmed, reported and edited the video portion of the interactive story on D.C.-area native Katie Ledecky’s second trip to the Olympics. She had already won gold in 2012 and was on pace to dominate in Rio. I collaborated with the designer/graphics reporter, animator and sports journalist to put together the story, which exhibited all the ways that made Ledecky an athlete way beyond her peers.

"First and 17" was a weekly documentary series by The Washington Post. It followed Woodbridge, Va. defensive end Da'Shawn Hand, the top high school football recruit in the country, and his teammates as they navigated the 2013 season. Video journalist Brad Hand spent nearly every day at Woodbridge High School filming the team and the games. I edited all 14 episodes of the series. I was the video editor on the full length film film as well, which premiered at AFI Docs in 2014.
