In a category with the largest newspaper websites in the country, NewsOK.com’s online sports coverage was named a top 10 website nationally by the Associated Press Sports Editors in both 2009 and 2010.
Before working for NewsOK.com, I was the Senior Online Editor at The Oklahoma Daily/ OUDaily.com, OU’s independent student newspaper. In my time at The Daily, I also worked as an OU football blogger, campus reporter and Assistant Online Editor. I managed OUDaily.com and updated it with stories, videos, slideshows, podcasts, photos, blogs and more multimedia elements, and I was in charge of everything that went on the site.
In the summer of 2008, I led a team involved in redesigning OUDaily.com. We transformed it into one of the premier college newspaper Web sites in the country, winning a 2009 Gold Crown from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for best college online newspaper.
Also in the summer of 2008, I interned at The Oklahoman/ NewsOK.com, the state of Oklahoma’s largest newspaper and one of its largest Web sites. I helped update NewsOK.com with stories, pictures, videos and audio throughout the day and also assisted with the exporting of stories from print to online.
In April 2009, I was chosen to be a member of the UWIRE 100 as one of the top collegiate journalists in the country.
I graduated OU in May of 2009 with a B.A. in journalism and mass communication and a minor in film and video studies.
