I had the opportunity to work with HomeGrown, the Oglethorpe Echo’s home and garden magazine. The content I made was very different from hard news writing that I am typically used to creating. It allowed me to blend elements of creativity with my journalistic storytelling skills to create different newsworthy products for the community in Oglethorpe County.
Featured in Grady Newsource, I wrote this piece in collaboration with two reporters, Katie Guenther and Sarah Coyne. We interviewed a local homeowner in Athens, GA, and created a story ahead of the annual Porchfest festival that took place on Sunday, October 20, 2024.
This piece involved interviewing two local Athens designers and compiling advice from both individuals and creatively tell a timely and relevant story about holiday decor.
