My 25-year career as a professional writer spans long-form, investigative journalism to UX microcopy for websites. An award-winning journalist for 16 years, I changed gears in 2015, moving on to marketing as a digital copywriter and copy manager. My specialties include crafting consistent messaging across channels, creating clear CTAs that lead to conversion, content strategy, collaborating with cross-functional partners, and coaching and mentoring writers. Crafting emails, social media, mobile app and website copy and SEO-rich long-form articles are all part of my skill set, and I have experience in writing retail, fashion, beauty, home, automotive and higher education content in fast-paced, high-volume environments. I'm an expert at distilling complex subjects into compelling, easy-to-understand copy and creating on-brand, engaging content. A true people person, I thrive when working with designers and other creatives to bring concepts to life, and learning from cross-functional partners through the course of a project.

I love the news, television, and serving our communities by digging for the truth and giving people accurate information about events and issues. It’s so, they can make informed decisions. I’m a big fan of the Scripps-Howard motto: “Give light and the people will find their own way.” I’m an Emmy Award winning news anchor/reporter, most recently for WGCL-TV in Atlanta. I love taking viewers through breaking news and field anchoring. As a proven ratings-getter, I’ve been blessed to have worked with fantastic producers and love working together to craft an informative, energetic, rockin’ newscast. On the road, I‘ve covered hurricanes and presidential campaigns; and especially enjoy producing in-depth reports. My career in journalism started at The University of Maryland at College Park. To pay my way through college, I worked as a news aide for The Washington Post, and as a production assistant for WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C. I’ve worked for television stations in Dayton, Cleveland, Raleigh, Houston, Orlando and Washington, D.C. Community involvement is very important to me. I serve on the volunteer board of CAPN Clinics, a charity of medical professionals who provide free care to people who are homeless and families in crisis in Atlanta. I’ve been an after-school tutor for disadvantaged students in D.C., a career day speaker for numerous middle schools and high schools; and an instructor for college students for the NABJ Broadcast Short Course at North Carolina A&T State University. Right now, I also mentor several college journalism students. I’m proud of my work in Houston and in Cleveland, hosting a series of reports on adoption; helping to move kids from foster care, to permanent loving homes. I’ve been featured in newscaster roles for the TBS comedy series “Miracle Workers”, the HBO series “The Outsider”, The Oprah Winfrey Network’s “Greenleaf”; also movies “Brightburn”, “Shaft”, and “Noelle.” Journalism isn’t my only professional passion, I’ve also earned real estate licenses from the states of Maryland, Georgia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
