This was my first story that I completed while at the Citizen! I personally met with Dr. Vining and Dr. Chandra to discuss all Vining had to offer Preferred Medical Group.

This story was by far the most challenging for me. I am more comfortable writing peoples’ life stories rather than discussing legislation. However, I overcame that hurdle!

This story was my favorite to write. The owners of East Alabama Humane Society were apprehensive to talk to me. However, throughout our conversation, they opened up. It was a personal win! (Not to mention, the dogs were so sweet!)

To write this story, I worked primarily with the Chattahoochee River Keeper and a press release the city issued. Although it is not a features style story, it still served the community important information.

Getting the triplets to come out of their shell for this story was a challenge. At the end of the day, their profile turned out great!

Who doesn’t love reading about a dog? We took John Duffey’s recent appointment as an opportunity to do a profile on him and his furry best friend.

I teamed up with our parent company’s production team to complete this story. Not only was Johnny James a delight to talk to, I also got to assist and understand camera work and lighting.

Talking with Mayor Eddie Lowe and Palmer Williams, Jr. made for a great story about the work Phenix City is doing for its students.

Julie Casey and her daughter Andi, despite their apprehensions about being interviewed for a newspaper article, were willing to sit and discuss their self-published book.

It’s always a pleasure to write about uplifting things the church community does for those overseas.
