The adventures of a journalism student.

First slideshow published.

Through my experience and education in journalism I have discovered that more than anything, I enjoy putting together multimedia projects.

For the Surrey Now, I put together an audio slideshow that takes a look at the Surrey Festival of Dance's first weekend. The month-long festival is on at the Surrey Arts Centre. I urge people in the community to check it out. It features the talent of dancers and performers from all over B.C.

My journalistic journey thus far.

Through my journey as an intern at the Surrey Now newspaper, I have a couple of pieces that I am quite proud of.

I can definitely say that there are two articles in particular that stand out to me. I believe they are my favourite of all the pieces I've had published to date.

Check them out!

The first, a feature on a Surrey luxury car club. Harvey Sangera gives me a ride in an Audio R8. Just one of his luxury vehicles that you can drive - for a price! CLICK HERE!

The other, a feature on a local White Rock artist. Art and environment meet on canvas. CLICK HERE!

The Surrey Festival of Dance.

The Festival of Dance kicked off today, celebrating its 43rd year of existence.

I attended some performances today to collect images and audio for a multimedia project I'm working on for the Surrey Now newspaper's website. The project will include images of dancers, brief interviews with organizers and participants - and of course, music.

There were a couple of pictures that I loved and felt the need to share with cyberspace.
