I spent nearly three decades in newsrooms and classrooms, moving between reporting, editing, digital project management, and teaching journalism.

In newsrooms, I worked at the Orlando Sentinel, Palm Beach Post, Military.com, Tampa Tribune, and Sun Sentinel. My reporting appeared in the Chicago Tribune, New York Daily News, St. Pete Life Magazine, and other publications.

Early in the digital transition, I became the colleague others turned to when the technology changed. I trained journalists in blogging, analytics, social media, and emerging platforms, using my ability to translate between traditional newsroom values and new tools.

In classrooms, that same instinct showed up. At the University of Tampa, I built a digital-first journalism curriculum and advised the student newspaper, The Minaret, earning the university-wide Advisor of the Year award. I also taught at UF, UCF, USF, and Eckerd College.

What I loved most about teaching was helping students find their voice and trust their instincts. Not teaching them to write like me, but helping them write like themselves – with clarity and confidence.

I’m now orienting toward work that values legacy over output, community and impact over metrics.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in French from Tulane University and a master’s in journalism from the University of Florida. I live in Gainesville with my partner Logan and our dogs.

Let’s work together

I’m currently available for editorial projects and legacy documentation work with mission-driven organizations and individuals.
