Journalism

ABC News Medical Unit

The work began as a four-week medical elective in July 2026, under Executive Producer Eric M. Strauss and Coordinating Producer Sony Salzman, and continued afterward as a contributor. I pitched and reported health news for ABC News Digital and Good Morning America, produced segments for GMA and ABC News Live, and reviewed other reporters’ stories and scripts for medical accuracy before they ran.
