I have extensive experience living, working, and studying internationally and in diverse communities. Exceptional communication skills coupled with the training and experience to fully produce all aspects of stories, whether in print, radio, television, or new media. I seek out challenging projects and bring unflagging energy, a level head, and an unique creative perspective to the table.
