Summary
I'm a digital content specialist with experience leading 24/7 breaking news, politics, sports, entertainment and finance coverage and a flair for identifying stories before they go viral. My specialties include live event coverage and planning, team building, partner relationship management, social media and audience engagement/growth, reporter and editor coaching, storytelling and building collaborative newsrooms that work across teams (and platforms) to help brands reach their business goals. Data-driven decision making and newsletters are among my areas of interest. I know that the news cycle doesn't sleep and that planning to cover it effectively is a constant evolution that goes well beyond your newsroom. As a consultant I've assisted brands (and campaigns) with everything from broad strategy to more tactical things like editorial calendars, social media activations, copy editing and even event management. Areas of expertise: • Operations management • Impeccable news judgment • Headline writing • Reporting • Coaching • Data-influenced decision making • Audience engagement • Cross-functional collaboration • Attention to detail • Sense of urgency
