On the Web

This section is a compilation of the Web projects I have been involved in. This includes a news site I founded, a site I blogged for and a Wiki I created.


Slideshows

Using Soundslides, I’m proficient in creating both audio and regular slideshows. This section gives you a sense of some work I’ve produced.


Video

I have a passion for shooting and editing video. I’m comfortable using both iMovie and Final Cut Pro. This section displays a couple of videos I produced.


Audio

: Much like video, I have a strong understanding of how to record and edit podcasts and audio clips.


Print

: This section contains links to print articles I’ve written. I’ve reported for The MetroWest Daily News, The Boston Herald, The Springfield Republican and other various weeklies and dailies. I was also the editor of The Massachusetts Daily Collegian, UMass’s student-run daily.

In addition to print and multimedia, I’m also a Web production enthusiast. Here are some examples of sites I’ve had a hand in creating:
