When you invite me to collaborate with your journalism team, I bring the skills and support to help them create their best work. Whether they’re creating a newsmagazine, podcast, yearbook, or managing social media, my goal is to guide your team in producing high-quality, journalistically sound content they can be proud of. I believe in dignity-centered brainstorming, practical coaching, and team-building activities that make a real difference.

I’ve been a part of scholastic journalism since 1998, starting as a high school yearbook adviser in San Diego before working as a sales representative for one of the nation’s leading yearbook publishers. From 2006 to 2015 and again since 2020, I’ve had the privilege of working at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, where I coach a diverse range of student publications. These include our Pacemaker Finalist and Silver Crown-winning Vox Populi yearbook, Whisk & Ladle cooking magazine, a lifestyle magazine for Gen Z students, and more. I also oversee HW Media+, a streaming app for student news, sports, arts, and events, as well as several student-run podcasts and the social media supporting each of these initiatives.

In 2015, I earned a Master of Education in learning, teaching, and curriculum from the University of Missouri and became a Master Journalism Educator through the Journalism Education Association.

If you’re ready to elevate your staff’s storytelling, foster journalistic integrity, or inspire young creatives, I’d love to help bring your vision to life. Together, we can build something impactful, innovative, and unforgettable for your students.
