About: As the news broke that Michael Jackson had died, I worked with USA TODAY’s editors, reporters and multimedia producers to put together a video package that explained Jackson’s legacy and captured the public outpouring of emotion.

As senior video editor, I coordinated with a team of editors, video journalists and producers to create a package of five videos that approached the story from multiple angles. I also worked with the paper’s lead music critic to script and edit the featured retrospective piece that examined Michael Jackson’s career and influence on popular music and culture.
