As a communications specialist at UC Davis, I am primarily a writer and editor. But I also create, manage and strategize when it comes to websites, newsletters, social media, videos, photographs, publications, webinars and communications campaigns.My writing has taken me from California casinos to Cambodian farms, with topics nested in science, agriculture, education, poverty, government and automobiles. Telling stories about rural communities and natural resources is one of my passions. I'm driven to find the human angle in any story. Some of my tools: Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat Pro, Dreamweaver, Illustrator), happy in PC and Mac environments, HTML, word processing, interviewing, editing (collaborative or directive), Twitter, Facebook, analytics, and always a trusty reporter's notebook.
