I'm an award-winning newsroom hyphenate, a reporter-editor-host-videographer-photographer equally comfortable brainstorming coverage as I am going out on a story and shooting my own photos and video.

​

I came up in the age of composing-room waxers, but realize that modern-day storytellers must be early adopters of technology, to find the audience where it is.

​

I am firm believer in and a champion of building community around journalism. 

​

My design background taught me to think visually; my comma-chasing copy-editing past instilled an attention to detail; my theater background gives my project a dramatic flair and sense of occasion.

​

I juggle multiple assignments -- daily, medium- and long-range -- and see them through to deadline.

​

Ah, deadline. I respect deadline.

​

I also run a good meeting, troubleshooting potential pitfalls while keeping my eye on the finish line. I've scheduled staff, coached and coaxed, and conducted employee evaluations.

​

I lead by enthusiastic example. ​
