I have experience reporting
on the ground
I’ve done a lot of travel reporting, whether that be via press trips or more traditional travel assignments. I know how to stay organized and on-schedule even while reporting on-the-go.
How I approach travel assignments:
Planning
A lot of the work happens before the trip even starts. I go in knowing what I need to get out of it, what questions to ask, and where I might need more time.
Reporting
On the ground, I’m working. Notes are taken in real time, details get tracked as they happen, and anything useful is captured before it’s lost.
Interviewing
Access is usually limited and time moves quickly. The questions have to be right the first time, and the conversation needs to get somewhere.
Storytelling
The itinerary gives you material, not a piece. I continuously look for ways to form a clear narrative and take detailed notes so I don’t forget any of the sensory, or other important details.
Deadlines
I’m used to tight deadlines and quick turnarounds, so I always use my time wisely. You can expect a polished draft soon after the trip, and my quick response for any edits or additions.
Filing
I’m known for delivering clear, structured, and well-research pieces that make editor’s lives easy. You can expect the same here. I’ll also keep track of all expenses and file those promptly after the trip ends.
