The Detroit Jewish News
I interned at the Detroit Jewish News from May 2019-Sept. 2019. I was offered a part time spot as a reporter, but had to decline to focus on my schooling. Below are some of the best stories I wrote as an intern, including a story where I did some on-camera work. The Jewish News was a great experience for me to test my skills in a professional environment and familiarize myself with a community I had no ties to, but quickly grew to appreciate.

Erika had just been released from prison after her second time in rehab for a heroin addiction, and seemed to finally be doing better.

Multiple doses of Narcan could not revive her.

Podcast/Radio Show
While at WXOU, my best friends and I produced a podcast,"Hot Takes and Mistakes." I hosted the show and ran the board, playing ads and adjusting the levels throughout the show. It was been a really fun learning experience, and the reception we have received from the podcast has been tremendous. After recording the audio version I edit the video footage and upload it to YouTube as well. Below is an example of one of our episodes.
