For the last 14 years, I've developed my skills to brand myself as a well-rounded multimedia journalist. I'm proud to include the following skills in my professional portfolio:

 

• Digital Journalist

• Enterprise Producer

• Executive Podcast Producer

• Financial Journalist

• Social Media Manager

• Videojournalist

 

After years of covering the financial beat, I felt that it was time for a change. Most of my time in financial journalism involved reporting on the middle-market, private equity, initial public offerings and M&A deals for SourceMedia’s monthly publication Mergers & Acquisitions Magazine. 

 

A few years later I covered the accounting industry for the national publication, AccountingToday.com, where I held the role of Managing Editor.
 

Financial journalism is where the money is but my heart is drawn to traditional human interest stories.

 

The work I'm most proud of is when I have a video camera in my hand, a story in my head, and an empty timeline where I can watch my ideas unfold.

 

Thanks to E.W. Scripps, I was able to fuel my passion.

In February 2017, the multi-billion dollar news organization invested and launched HelloSWFL, a research and development project that focused on reshaping local news for digital platforms.

 

One of the primary goals was to connect with the community of Southwest Florida and tell those stories with balance and depth. 

 

E.W. Scripps decided to end the project in mid-December. Now it's time to take what I learned and continue my journey as a journalist with digital being front and center.
