In that role, I directed operations in the newsroom by organizing and dispatching news crews to gather content for four daily newscasts. I would also monitor the police scanner and social media for breaking news and contact the appropriate authorities for information on everything from vehicle accidents and shootings to fires and murder investigations. Throughout the day, I generated and edited news stories for the 5NEWS website and prior to newscasts, I was charged with reviewing and revising reporter scripts for air. While I had a hand in hundreds of reports, the selection of work below exemplifies a variety of news stories I broke, investigated, researched, developed and wrote.

- Journalist - the last decade After I graduated from Boston University with a broadcast journalism degree in 2011, I moved back into my old bedroom in the basement of my parent’s house in suburban New Jersey where I spent the next couple of months sending my resume and reel to dozens of local TV news stations across the country. Eventually, a news director at one of the three local news stations in Northwest Arkansas offered me my first producing job. I’d be working from midnight to 8 a.m. on the morning show and she wanted me in the office a week later, but I convinced her to give me two. It was early August when my mom and I fit what we could into her car and made the 20 hour drive to Fayetteville, a city in a state I had never thought about, let alone visited. I planned to stay two years before I moved on to what I believed would be bigger and better things, but life and the Ozark Mountains had other plans. I stayed through the rest of my 20s and into my early 30s and this place and its people ended up shaping me into the journalist I am today. After 40/29 News, I became a producer and then assignment manager at 5NEWS, but the whole time I imagined myself working for the local NPR station. When I was at a crossroads in 2017, I finally got my chance and became a reporter for Ozarks at Large on KUAF 91.3. Most of the selection of stories below is from my four years on the radio, which is where I found my journalistic voice and sense of purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcba629c138691b7de85a31/1608172653752-4FUDW8U9LEP1BOV7UOEH/npr.jpg Home - Journalist - In 2020, I fulfilled one of my personal goals as a reporter for KUAF 91.3 and filed a story with NPR about the surge of COVID-19 infections in the Latino and Marshallese communities in Northwest Arkansas. I have also filed several news spots for NPR’s hourly newscasts about the state of the coronavirus pandemic in Arkansas, a poultry worker walkout to protest working conditions, and the arrest of a Northwest Arkansas man in connection to a viral photo from the January 6th attack at the U.S. Capitol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcba629c138691b7de85a31/1608089584100-21W5WHOPHHHSDM1RWWW4/ruth_coker_burks.jpg Home -

But these relatively unassuming mountains, which cross from Arkansas into southwestern Missouri, hide more than 300 miles of mountain biking trails that cater to beginner and expert rider alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcba629c138691b7de85a31/1608429712372-D4JF6HT06OZSNSOLRHND/wednshred.jpeg Home - Copywriter - Wed & Shred for Oz Trails The hundreds of miles of single track crisscrossing Northwest Arkansas is some of the best in the world, but it wouldn’t be half of what it is today without the people who ride it, maintain it and advocate for it, creating a place where Lindsay Custer, Nate Fields and countless others have connected as friends, teammates, colleagues and partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcba629c138691b7de85a31/1608430101535-AYEBU91HYDA01DW9CWTH/LittleSugar.jpg Home - Copywriter - Little Sugar Phase 2 Opens for Oz Trails After five years of planning and construction, the Northwest Arkansas Trailblazers have opened the second phase of the Little Sugar trail system to mountain bikers, hikers, and trail runners.

With names like White Lightning, Mule Kicker and Skull Cracker, the gnarly tracks pay homage to the stills hidden in the Buffalo River Valley’s gullies and ridges, but now, instead of bootleggers, these hills are home to some of the most unique riding features in the central United States.
