SPECIALITIES

  • I am a writer, editor, college educator, and award-winning multimedia producer. I love telling stories with words, data, sound, video, and pictures. I believe that storytelling is an art and a craft and a calling, one that requires passion, devotion, and humility. As a writer and an interdisciplinary media producer, and teacher, I spend my time trying to heed the call.

  • I am an Assistant Professor in the Writing, Literature & Publishing department in the School of the Arts at Emerson College in Boston. I teach undergraduate and graduate students multimedia storytelling, digital publishing, and intermedia cultural criticism.

  • My expertise includes digital content and social media strategy; online news and digital storytelling. For more than a decade I produced multimedia content for public media broadcasting brands GBH, NPR, and PBS including television, radio, news, documentaries, blogs, social media, and station + micro websites. My beats have included everything from Black history to daily news; from arts and culture, to science and technology; from education, history, and music, to finance, media, and lifestyle content.

  • As a longtime professional digital content producer and consultant, I combine strategic intelligence and creativity, deep editorial experience, and a broad skillset to create traffic-building, useful, informative, and immersive online user experiences.

  • I love using data to contextualize reality and tell stories about our world.
