Discover Top On-Air Reporters / Hosts in Phoenix, Arizona, USA

I specialize in close-in coverage of breaking news events, filling in gaps in major network coverage. I designed a custom mobile journalism system that provides me with a more flexible platform to quickly broadcast and upload media. I’m constantly working on new ways to leverage advances in mobile technology, and further simplify the complex tasks required of any multimedia journalist. My focus on speed, mobility and simplicity gives me an ability to satisfy the ever-growing need for lightning-fast, concise, unbiased, and broadcast-quality news products. Whenever possible, I use drone and 360° video live-streams to create an unedited, immersive experience for viewers. I also produce documentary video and occasionally publish written news stories.

I began my journalistic career as an International News Editor for one of the world's largest newspapers, Metro International in Moscow, Russia. Following the mass protests all over Russia in 2018, I started an investigative media project, exposing those responsible for suppressing opposition, disrupting civic activities, and promoting social tensions in Russia. As a freelance journalist, I produced more than thirty exclusive stories on business, science, and technology by working with major national universities and organizations, including NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Arizona State University. I also hosted live broadcasts from Arizona for the VoA during the 2020 U.S. presidential election for Russian-speaking audiences in Russia, Central, Eastern Europe, and worldwide.

My passion for communication and media began when I was a high schooler. I decided to major in English Translation as an undergraduate student. I mustered up all my courage and efforts to master my language skills. I then applied for a Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While there, volunteering for radio stations which facilitated my way of being admitted to the journalism graduate program at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. There, I was news director at KVSC 88.1 FM and produced a lot of podcasts and audio packages as well as written stories. I also gained a lot of hands-on experience in video-shooting and editing by reporting for the school's television station i.e. UTVS. I dare to say that my skills are as competitive as that of a reporter for a public/private television or radio station. In nutshell, I can report and produce stories and documentaries on my own for radio and television as well as print.
