In front of the camera, I've logged hundreds of hours of live television and conducted thousands of on-camera interviews. My reporting as an investigative journalist has prompted state and federal legislative change, improved safety standards, and forced policy change. Now I use my experience to coach clients on how to exude more confidence and command on television, digital platforms, and in front of audiences. In addition, I utilize my vast network in broadcast television to secure media coverage and provide top-level media strategy.
