A Bit About Me

I’m an internationally-experienced digital strategist and content developer with
expertise in audience development, social engagement, video production and
editorial strategy. I believe the best kind of journalism is capable of grabbing onto
important moments and experiences, and connecting people from across the globe
with those moments and experiences.
