I’ve been telling the nation’s most important stories for nearly 3 decades. Here is mine:I thrive in a competitive and demanding 24/7 industry where success is constantly measured by CTR, engagement time, and rating points calculated by the minute. Those metrics are necessary to operate and it’s exhilarating to see content you’ve created skyrocket to the top.What is even more gratifying is my ability to drive positive change and lift those who feel silenced or marginalized; from helping front line employees at a Boston nursing home get their long overdue paychecks, to a team reporting effort on social security errors that led to policy changes at the Social Security Administration. Our reporting on the SSA received a Goldsmith award from the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School.I’m best known for building trusting relationships with thought leaders, newsmakers, and sources. I work the phone daily to build new contacts and strengthen existing ones. I’m fortunate to have been recognized with an Edward R. Murrow award for my ability to distill complex thoughts into engaging narratives. I will always be a storyteller at heart.I understand the nuances of effective communication and am just as comfortable speaking to an audience of 100,000 as I am speaking with an audience of one. Authenticity is key.My network includes decision makers at traditional and new media organizations across the country and I have been invited to discuss sensitive and high-profile topics on ABC News, NBC News, FOX News, Oxygen Network, Reelz, HLN, ID Channel, Nat Geo, CourtTV, and the Dr. Oz Show.
