NBC News Public Relations Assistant

I gained an extensive and deep understanding of the media landscape from inside a top broadcast network, supporting NBC properties including the TODAY Show, Nightly News, Meet the Press, Dateline and News Specials and Investigations. I pitched NBC content including interviews, stories and scoops on a daily basis and also supported TODAY Show talent pitching, earning coverage across Tier 1 media, as well as in entertainment, technology and political media. On a daily basis, I determined the newsworthiness of interviews and stories, crafted target media lists and delivered pitches, then monitored the news cycle for any mentions of NBC News, its talent and its programs.

Joe Biden Super Tuesday Exclusive Interview

In his first interview after Super Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden sat down with Savannah Guthrie to discuss the narrowing Democratic field and the race ahead against President Trump. I got ahead of competition, teasing the interview to media and politics reporters the night before pitching the full conversation the next morning.

Twitter Misinformation Exclusive Story

The NBC News Business & Technology Unit gained exclusive access to internal Twitter plans to begin flagging false or misleading posts from public figures. Within minutes of publishing, I developed a list of social media and tech reporters and pitched the news to amplify the scoop.

Harry Styles Plaza Concert

Harry Styles performed a live concert on the TODAY plaza. He also announced a Halloween concert at Madison Square Garden and  made his first public statement after being robbed in London. I pitched the news as well as exclusive photos to select music and culture reporters, making waves in the industry and providing media assets that are still used today, a year later, in articles about Harry.
