About this project
I played an integral role in this project as both an editor and content producer. As editor, I helped with project management and ensured assets were coming in to the right people at the right times. Simulataneously, I worked with an illustrator to produce thematic art for the story presentation (since photos were limited given the subject matter and need for characters' anonymity) to provide visual interest and break up the lengthy narrative.
I contributed data analysis not just to the written piece, but also to the production of an award-winning hour-long radio special.
