As a freelance journalist my role is to create accurate and engaging stories that cover TV, Movies, and showbiz news
• My workflow consisted of covering live entertainment events, press junkets, premieres, press releases and self-sourcing, where I would conduct interviews, capture content for social media output and liaise with PRs and, at times, present segments.
• Building relationships with PR companies and contacts.
• Interviewing creatives for stories and Q&A content.
• Attending press events and premieres.

Covering entertainment, arts and culture news and features across Yahoo! Style, Yahoo! Lifestyle and Yahoo! Travel
• Writing multiple stories per day for the publication.
• Using software such as Google’s News, trends, and analytics, I would look for trending topics and see how previous articles had performed to help steer future content, all while making sure the website copy with SEO friendly.
• I would build each story in that brand’s CMS while working with other departments to ensure the content hit targets across social media and was distributed in newsletters.
• While at Yahoo! News, I would provide expert commentary on trending events, celeb news and the latest in the world of TV and film. This would involve researching, scripting, and fact-checking before going live on the website.
