About

After more than two decades telling stories, sharpening my skills and leading others in the craft — I’m still inspired myself by the power of the medium. Most recently, as Managing Editor for Video & Audio at McClatchy, I led a team of journalists producing impactful daily and long-term projects. The team was a scrappy startup inside of a legacy media organization. We developed new workflows, trained staff and tackled technology challenges. Our video producer team worked with reporters, editors and photographers at the Miami Herald, Sacramento Bee, Kansas City Star — reaching new audiences in powerful ways. Our high impact team told the story behind the Miami Herald’s investigation of Jefferey Epstein - Perversion of Justice. The team also explored the conditions at the U.S./Mexico border with the Emmy award-winning Wait at Matamoros for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In Sacramento, the documentary S.A.C. tackled the fallout from a police shooting that led to protests and community soul-searching. Prior to McClatchy, I was part of the America’s Heartland production team for KVIE Public Television. America’s Heartland chronicled the story of American agriculture for more than a decade. I traveled the U.S. (and world) as a producer and reporter for the show. Awards 2020 Lone Star Emmy Award: The Wait at Matamoros 2016 Northern California Emmy Award: Yes!
