About

Experienced, web-savvy multimedia journalist with expertise in social media and producing content across multiple platforms. While at Patch Media as the company was in start-up mode, I launched one local news site, building brand recognition in the community and growing the site into a go-to local resource. Ultimately I managed two neighboring sites simultaneously, leveraging analytics, daily newsletters, Twitter, Facebook and other social media tools to drive UVs and engagement.I have over a decade of experience at print newspapers as well, affording me a deep appreciation for the endless innovation for journalism in a digital age.At The Salem News, I have served in a number of reporter, editor and management roles, eventually taking over as the editor of the daily paper and news website.When I have free time, I enjoy running or playing soccer with the kids.
