My 20-year career has taken me from crime scenes and fires in rural upstate New York to the offices of CEOs at multimillion dollar corporations. I sat in a living room in Connecticut as a family grieved the loss of a son during the war in Afghanistan. I have chronicled battles over education spending, fiercely contested local elections and courtroom sagas.My current focus is data journalism on topics including real estate, the economy and more. I previously covered New York state government with a specific focus on the Covid-19 pandemic.As a web producer, I used data and news judgment to make minute-by-minute decisions on how to effectively promote online content. I have years of experience managing multiple social media accounts.As a business reporter, I detailed the struggles and successes of local banks in the wake of the financial meltdown and was the first to write about some of the region’s most innovative startup companies. On the retail beat, I covered everything from the business climate in downtown Syracuse to massive malls and mixed-use developments. I regularly shot photos and videos to accompany my stories.In short, my years in the news business have given me expertise in traditional and digital reporting, writing and editing. I have also developed the attention to detail and calm that come from working in an industry driven by daily deadlines.Specialties: Breaking news stories, enterprise reporting, crime and court reporting, coverage of government, politics and elections, business reporting, editing, content management for news websites, social media.
