Journalism Passion Project: Stories That Inspire

Stories That Inspire is a collection of news packages I developed during my Field Production and Reporting class, combining my love for storytelling with my passion for community-driven journalism. Each story explores themes of resilience, identity, and the power of connection, showcasing voices that inspire change and growth. This project was an opportunity to hone my reporting skills while diving deep into the issues that matter most to me—community initiatives, sports, and empowerment. From research and interviews to filming and editing, I took pride in crafting stories that not only inform but also spark meaningful conversations.
