Features Reporter

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

May 2013 - Aug 2013 (4 months)

As a hands-on reporter, I experienced many of the topics I covered. When Flyboarding flew into the state, I cruised atop the water at Greers Ferry Lake like a porpoise and hovered high above the waterline with what looked like a jetpack for my feet. When I covered a story about how patients with Alzheimer's Disease use art as a form of therapy, I went and sat with them during their sessions and watched as an artist picked up a brush for the first time in years. I wrote about Arkansas alligators. And when the time came, I pushed myself to ride 26 miles with a local cycling group just to get the story.

Once there, I had to plead with him to stop the car, even though he wanted to continue on to where a man was being arrested for allegedly starting the fire. At the spot he let me out, I had a vantage point from a bridge and was able to shoot a photo of the alleged perpetrator being apprehended by local authorities. I was also much closer to the fire, and just had to cross the road. There, the buckles on my sandals stung my feet from being so close to the fire. It did not deter me and I shot some pretty good
