An updated version of a storyteller…
Education 2.0: Following a media planning career in advertising, I returned to journalism school out of passion for the profession's role in democracy, respect for its traditions and excitement about the possibilities for its future.
Reporter 2.0: I became a multimedia journalist because I want to tell people’s stories through words and images in their most powerful combinations.
Journalism 2.0: I’m inspired by the potential of social media to connect communities, find stories that need to be told and harness the knowledge of the public.
