Currently I am responsible for color correcting and cropping
photos for a mid-size daily newspaper. In addition, I create
infographs, locator maps, illustrations, as well as other
graphic elements for use in the newspaper and its website.
I am also responsible for updating the website with daily
news, sports, features, and op-ed articles. Recently, I
have been chosen to aid in the redesign and general overhaul
of the website, and I have also been given the duties of
laying out certain pages of the newspaper.
