I work at the nexus of technology and journalism to help create new public radio experiences for the digital age. As the head of the Digital Curation and Platforms team, I supervise more than a dozen journalists thinking about the best platforms, tools, and techniques to get NPR's content to new audiences. We work to engage new audiences and move them from casual users to more loyal public radio fans, donors and members.That means working closely with designers and developers to create a strategy and help build new public radio platforms - mobile apps, smart speakers, newsletters, and other web-based experiences. It also means collaborating with marketing, development and sponsorship teams to ensure that our products and content help us meet our strategic and revenue goals.In all of the work that I do, I use data and metrics to analyze the content and listening experiences that most resonate with our users. We draw editorial and platform lessons that we use to improve our products and that we share throughout the public radio system to improve audience engagement on digital and broadcast platforms.As a manager, I pride myself on bringing out the best in my teams by treating each employee as an individual, learning what drives them, what support they need, and how to best communicate with them. I've taken underperforming employees and turned them into superstars through smart and thoughtful management.I have spent more than a decade working in journalism and communications. In my current role, I get to use the editorial skills I developed in newsrooms, combined with the data and strategy skills I developed working in communications, to help build the future of public radio.
Listed skills include Strategic Communications, Media Relations, Public Relations, Social Media, and 12 others.
