Out of control: the pattern of gun violence in the US
After a local gun violence incident, a few of our staff came together to put together an impactful piece on gun violence. I was tasked with creating engaging and impactful infographics to accompany the story. My goal was to present the data is a digestible manner for the readers. I researched assorted types of data including the most prominent types of gun violence, the gun violence mortality rates across the states, and then the amount of incidents gun violence incidents during the date of publication in California. I pulled together various data sheets and organized and coded them out through google sheets to insert into Flourish to present the information in an engaging manner, displaying how significant of an issue gun violence was. Below are the infographics I designed for the piece.

Russia vs. Ukraine: A conflict decades in the making
In this group package, I designed multimedia components and created a visual representation of the events discussed in the article. I created an interactive time line which encapsulates the historical events which lead up to the outbreak of conflict between the two countries and informed readers on the history in a digestible manner. I also designed a story map which highlighted points of interest within the conflict.
SOCIAL MEDIA
I am an intern at the San Mateo Daily Journal, our county's newspaper. I am responsible for running their official instagram account. As the social media intern, I post three instagram posts a day promoting their new stories. My goal is to keep users on social media to engaged with the local news occurring around them, and promote news stories ranging from new businesses, city changes, to even local crime.

The instagram posts mainly centered on the new local news stories coming out each day. The graphic posted on instagram covered what users could expect when they read the article. The caption gives a sneak peak into the contents of the article.
I use hashtags to reach a larger audience and use tags relevant to the post.
Posts which need more engagement will often be promoted though an instagram story.
I like to see how posts are being engaged with and analyze which ones are shared the most and saved to figure out what type of content the users favor.
