Award-winning journalist, writer, producer & communicator, with extensive experience managing teams and projects. I have built my career creating innovative ways to communicate with audiences through multiple platforms. I'm currently in a coaching and training role at Decker Communications, a leader in providing communications skills to Fortune 500 business leaders. Decker's programs help people in any situation move their message from one of information to influence. Prior to Decker, I managed CNN’s New York (Northeast) newsgathering operation, after building my skills in business and financial news. I have a passion for words and ideas - and blending them with images to tell a story, deliver a message, or create a mood. In the initial days of CNN’s financial network I appeared on camera reciting original verse about financial markets and the economy. Throughout it all I have looked to music as a creative outlet, playing piano, bass and guitar, and most recently beginning to compose and record as well.I take pride in helping people zero in on what they do well, improve what they could do better, and to accomplish that with a spirit of warm, firm encouragement. I love building teams capable of great things and finding solutions when encountering obstacles. Highly adaptive to a variety of environments, I feel most comfortable among collaborative, creative, high-energy people who love what they do and embrace common goals.
Listed skills include New Media, Video Production, Broadcast, Broadcast Journalism, and 11 others.
