at the Whistler Sliding Centre. Covering the luge, bobsled, and skeleton events for the 2010 Olympics.
The Olympic News Service is the wires service for the Games. ONS provides accredited journalists with flash quotes from athletes at each Olympic venue, so the journalists can use the quotes for their own articles. ONS also publishes event previews and reviews for each Olympic event at each venue.
I sideline reported, interviewing players, coaches, and fans at Emerson College sporting events (Basketball and Volleyball) during the live broadcasts of games.
I was selected by voters all over the world to host a documentary going behind-the-scenes of Seattle Opera's Summer 2009 production of Wagner's Ring Cycle, the epic 16-hour opera. I interviewed singers, saw the sets and props, learned about the plot, and saw the performance of the Ring Cycle at the end. Each week during the production, I vlogged and blogged about the process. The full documentary and blogs can be viewed at SeattleOpera.org/Confessions
I wrote stories for and anchored the morning news updates that aired during morning talk shows on the radio station.
