I can build immediate and long lasting trust with my interviewees. I write objectively and fairly. During the short period that I worked for the local newspaper, I have learned how build connections and sniff out leads that could lead to a story. I have written a wide variety of articles varying from local events to breaking news. I have interviewed people such as political leaders, local municipal mayors and group leaders for information and comments on stories. I have made immense difference in my community by bringing attention to certain issues.
