About me

I’ve always been driven by telling the story – it’s what attracted me to journalism as a college student and what has energized me throughout my career.

That dedication to the story has made me both a creative and an adaptable journalist and coach. No matter the organization, I’ve made it a priority to craft relevant, innovative journalism to best meet the reader’s needs.

Editing and coaching has been one of the highlights of my later career, and I have loved working with staff reporters as well as freelancers to encourage them to ask the questions that get the
best story, craft a lead paragraph that draws the reader in, and then write with focus to sustain interest until the last word. I have coached writers through profiles of high-energy entrepreneurs to all-out coverage of a blockbuster film series to a trip to Kenya to tell the story of Bantu refugees moving to the United States.

As a brand journalist, I have found that telling a story authentically is vital for my corporate clients. It requires understanding their audience (and I’m enjoying working with the top luxury real estate brokerage in Dallas … because house porn.)
