Anchoring

I’ve anchored breaking news during hurricanes and helped people wake up to important stories of the day, holding ratings strong.

Whether from the anchor desk, the field, or the computer screen, I believe an anchor should share news with thousands of people with a calm and authoritative voice, and as someone you could call your friend.

Multimedia Reporting

Three live shots a day? No problem.

You want me to set up my own Skype shot? “Find a unique way to tell a story using new technology, too!” Check.

Wait, “We’re going to change your story.”  It’s 3:45. “You have a deadline at 5.”  I’m calm.

Reporting demands enterprise, attention, focus, clarity, and truth.

I bring it all to the table.  And I love to tell creative stories.

Social Media Innovation

I love to think deeply about new ways to share news.

There is massive opportunity for targeted news dissemination.

And I want to help lead newsrooms through the change.

The Austin Chronicle named me as one of Austin’s Best Televised Tweeters in 2009.

I post, tweet, even use my phone to shoot video – all to add value to the lives of those who read and view the news.
