In addition to my MMJ responsibilities at KSNV News 3, I also designed social graphics and implemented new storytelling processes for our coverage. This was my first photostory design for the station.
Dr. Navkaran Singh, chief of obstetrics and gynecology at Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center, said he often recommends the activity to his patients.
“Yoga exercises are great because they’re really about that core process, getting the core stronger,” said Singh.
Singh said that yoga's slower movements set it apart from other exercises. Weight changes during pregnancy lead to more sensitive joints, so exercises that are less traumatic to the joints are more favorable.

During an unprecedented streak of seven 115-degree days, Harry Reid International Airport recorded the city’s hottest day at 120 degrees on July 7, 2024. I spent an afternoon, in 118-degree heat, capturing heatwave stock photography for our newsroom on July 9, 2024.
Shattering the previous record of 25, the city experienced 43 consecutive days of 105-degree or hotter weather. During this period, I reported on and visually captured heat-related stories. I asked the growing homeless population of Las Vegas how they were handling the record heat. I looked at Henderson Fire Departments' new cooling pods that immerse heat victims in cool water. I discovered that drought-tolerant plants are not heat-tolerant. I traveled to Valley of Fire State Park to learn why summer hiking rescues are difficult for first responders. I spoke with food vendors who braved the heat while new ordinances regulated their operations. I used an infrared thermometer to measure burn-inducing, surface temperatures of outdoor surfaces. Despite record-shattering heat waves, Las Vegas was still carrying on, but even desert dwellers had to adapt.
