As a former sports reporter of 10 years, I have a keen eye for the written word and treat each story with the utmost respect and kindness.No doubt, serving as a reporter helped me develop substantive skills in producing relevant, persuasive and sharp copy as well as advance my meticulous proofreading and editing skills. In fact, this experience motivated me to pursue leadership roles so that I could inspire other writers working in a dynamic, deadline-driven environment. As Co-Managing Director at Digital First Media’s high-volume publication hub, I orchestrate the production of a host of newspapers, which include five daily and 40+ weekly newspapers in the Philadelphia metro, upstate NY and suburban Detroit. Leading a staff of 10 paginators, we ensure timely delivery and error-free copy within exceptionally tight deadlines that are set in stone for an audience of 300,000 readers.Managing details, conducting journalistic research and applying my natural curiosity are central to my success in this business. Simply said, I enjoy driving consumer impact through accuracy in planning and execution of our newspaper publication.Throughout my career, I have been fortunate in that I have been able to hone and exercise my research, writing and interviewing skills. I genuinely enjoy upholding journalistic integrity while managing newspaper production, storytelling and newsgathering. Known as an upbeat, ‘no-option-to fail’ professional, I thrive on operating with precision and grace even when faced with tight turnarounds.To learn more about Digital First Media, connect with me on LinkedIn.
