Managing Editor @ PRNEWS
About
I'm a unique combo of many years in journalism, editing and reporting along with community building, live event moderating and programming, social media strategy, newsletter publishing and digital content management, with my roots planted firmly in storytelling and media. I know—it's a mouthful! Reporting allows for voices to be heard and lessons to be learned, and digital has allowed the distribution channel to widen. **** I've live-tweeted the up-to-the-minute results of the National Chicken Wing Eating Championship for Major League Eating, inches away from Joey Jaws', well, jaws. Trust me—you never want to get that close. Fur flying? Try wing meat. Everywhere. I've almost burned my eyebrows off and tiptoed through shards of glass while touring the U.S. headquarters of Pyrex for a multimedia feature story. July in New York rush hour on the subway platform almost compares with the heat index. I've also had a story on "What is Dyngus Day?" go viral. Feel free to inquire about this under-the-radar holiday. These are just a few of my career highlights. I'm always on the lookout for more. *** Experienced journalist and content curator. Editor and social media manager for public relations, media and marketing beats, travel and food, sponsored and custom content studios. Also includes work in data, metrics and analytics interpretation and reading, on native social media platforms as well as Pare.ly, Google Analytics and Omeda.
