I am an award winning visual journalist based in Atlanta, Georgia. I have worked in news, capturing videos and photos, since 2017. I recently competed a 6 month contract with Reuters as a video journalist. I traveled the US capturing general news, breaking news, extreme weather and political rallies for the Thomson Reuters North American television department. I also produced packaged video from live streams when needed. View my Reuters work here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgBI9qn-EkQ&list=PLYjWc0OyOHSjDScd2nGaLVo9PloJo31_Q
