About ME
Drea Cornejo is a documentary filmmaker and journalist for The Washington Post, where for the past six years, she has covered her fair share of natural disasters, political unrest and the top breaking stories of the day.
Currently, she leads video strategy for The Post's Health & Science desk, where she produces a mix of visual-first enterprise pieces, scripted and reporter-led explainers and vertical videos for on-site and off-platform distribution. Before joining The Post, she worked as a visual journalist for The Gainesville Sun while earning a B.A. in journalism from the University of Florida.
Years of working in fast-paced newsrooms have shaped her into a multifaceted visual journalist who loves to experiment with new forms of video storytelling. She manages the editorial process from start to finish, including producing, filming and editing visual stories as well as adapting video for platforms like Instagram and YouTube.
She’s based in St. Petersburg with her corgi named Slug, where you can usually find them admiring their Florida swamp or simply soaking up some sun. Say hi at andreacornejophoto@gmail.com.
