# About me
I’m a freelance digital journalist in New York City. I came to New York for a an internship with DNAinfo.com, a hyperlocal news site focused on Manhattan, and now I’m looking to explore opportunities in journalism, social media and marketing. I’m also a contributing freelance writer for the University City and Clayton-Richmond Heights Patch.com sites in St. Louis, MO.A 2010 graduate of Saint Louis University, with a degree in Communications and a certificate in Creative and Professional Writing, I was a weekly contributor the the campus newspaper, the University News, where I was a contributing reporter and editor. I was the News Director for SLU News22, the campus television newscast, helping to produce a record number of newscasts.
My goal as a journalist is giving viewers and insight into their communities and their their worlds. The news from down the block is every bit as important as the news that happens a world away.
In college media and my professional career, I have worked hard to attain a wide-ranging skill set that is valuable to today’s newsrooms, marketing departments and public relations departments, using social media on daily basis, tweeting and retweeting information on several topics throughout the day, and opening dialog to viewers, and readers, and interacting with them, and give an organization a competitive edge.
I’ve interviewed people ranging from world-known personal safety expert Nancy Hightshoe, to political analyst Paul Begala, to TV personality Bill Nye (The Science Guy) to social activist and professor Dr. Cornel West while in college.
I’m eager to embrace new challenges in the rapidly changing landscape of journalism and new media. I embrace new ways to connect with the audience and make online, print, and broadcast news a two-way medium.
