JOVRNALISM is a student-led publication that uses emerging tech to tell compelling, award-winning stories. Lives Unlocked is an immersive JOVRNALISM series that aims to tell the stories of post-prison life of formerly incarcerated individuals.

As the co-lead for the piece, Quinnie: Rebuilding His Community, I worked on the piece from concept to delivery — pitching story ideas, conducting on-site interviews, and shooting and working with 360 video in post processing.

Next Steps: I would love to further experiment with other technologies to tell Quinnie's story in a more immersive way. What if we created a portal in augmented reality that could transport the audience into Quinnie’s community center? What if we used photogrammetry to capture the spread of the Friday brunches he hosts for the community?
