Once a month, I produce an 8-minute episode of CNN Explains, a series that helps viewers understand complex news topics. I manage almost the entire production process from start to finish, including pitching ideas, researching, writing, interviewing experts, coordinating shoots, creating animations, and editing the final video.

Here are some social cut-downs from full episodes, which live behind CNN's paywall.

Disclaimer: I didn't make this one, but the majority of CNN Explains lives behind a paywall! Every episode is "owned" by a producer on our team.

I pitch the story, pull together a production timeline, and then work with reporters across the newsroom to conduct research.

Visuals are there to demonstrate, not just decorate! I design and animate almost all of my graphics.

I do outreach, pre-interviews, and the interview itself -  whether in-person or via Riverside.
