This entertainment slideshow request was for MSN and ran on the site in late 2008. It was about the ‘Last Girl Standing’ in horror movies and was challenging in that a lot of the photos were movie stills and not high-res quality in some cases because they were taken from older movies. This was promoted on the MSN home page and received more than 3 million hits.
This was a photo project that required a variety of images about the Top Internet Searches for 2008, broken down by month. They were mostly news stories and images from the year, but some were oddity images or things that were trending.
I worked on this video project for The Soul of Athens, a multimedia project for Ohio University’s School of Visual Communication. The Spring 2008 project was titled, The Pursuit of Wellness in Athens County, which explored both the positive and negative aspects of the subject. I was part of a class where we were Content Producers, which essentially meant we were the team that managed and coordinated all the content for the site, most of which were video projects. We didn’t have much control over the design and mechanics of the site, which fell into the domain of another class at OU. But when it came to the content, we controlled most of it and worked with the technical team to make it work.

I worked for the Media Team as a Multimedia Producer. It was a well-organized operation and I really liked everyone I worked with there. My job was specifically to do the ‘Emotional Moments’ slideshows for the Beijing Olympics. Because of the time difference, I worked shortened days, but worked 6 days a week and I started the new slideshow every day.
I also created several breaking news slideshows, which helped prepare me for doing the Olympics slideshow. I was also trained to capture screen shots from the live NBC feed for breaking news using their Avid system. Part of the job included contributing to the Photo Blog, so I blogged about the Olympics photos.
Project done for Soul of Athens by Jerome Nakagawa, but edited for Soul of Athens by Maria Averion. Project about a struggling family-owned dairy farm in Athens, Ohio. (Part of a class at Ohio University while in Grad School.)
Soul of Athens was a special online project completed during Spring Quarter 2008. I was part of a class that handled the Content Management for the project. I found content from other students and coordinated with the project Team Leaders. I also handled a lot of trouble shooting and training for the project.

This was my final project for this Documentary Photography class. It was on Modern Motherhood and I photographed mothers with more than 2 kids. I was at an age where almost all my friends had kids and I wanted to explore that.
I got an offer from the AME for Photo to come and work on the Photo Desk as an editor. I started out as an Assignment Editor for the Features and Business sections. Part of the job dealt with making assignments and part of the job dealt with finding and researching photo for different stories. I even took a studio photo specifically for a business story instead of buying a similar photo. I coordinated the shoot and selected the one that would work (and I got a published credit for it).
I’d been trying to move to the NewsDesk for a while, but they liked me in my position in NewsIT, so I kept getting overlooked. But when a friend was going on maternity leave for 6 months, I got an opportunity to fill in for her. I designed pages in the Nation and World section, Business, Inside A and Metro, including section fronts.
