Skills
I have been trained in writing for all outlets of news media such as newspapers, radio, and broadcast news. I have been trained how to use HD cameras and how to shoot packages. I also have some experience with taking still photos. I am very proficient with the program Final Cut Pro. I have also used programs such as Audacity, Pro tools, and Adobe Bridge. I have interviewed over 200 people in my years as a journalist, so I feel that I have developed good people skills in doing so. I am familiar with the Spanish language, but I am not fluent.
