Work Background
Story Visioning Features Editor
89.5 WNIJ & 90.5 WNIUStory Visioning Features Editor
Jan. 2025DeKalb, Illinois, United StatesI'm passionate about working with early-career audio journalists—especially those finding their voice in the rich, narrative-driven tradition of public radio. Whether it's shaping a compelling character arc, finding the perfect ambient tape, or helping a reporter trust their own writing instincts, I love guiding emerging talent as they learn the craft of longform audio storytelling. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a journalist grow in confidence and clarity as they begin to master the feature style that defines so much of what we value in public radio: nuance, depth, humanity, and strong sense of place.
Voice Over Artist
variousVoice Over Artist
Apr. 2023As a voiceover artist, I bring clarity, warmth, and precision to projects that require both authority and approachability. My work spans a range of clients and formats, including a leading provider of legal graphics, courtroom tutorials, and technical trial support—where accuracy and tone are essential—and a statewide public media company, where storytelling and accessibility are key. Whether it's guiding judges through complex legal concepts, narrating podcast segments with depth and nuance, or voicing legal IDs and other continuity elements for radio stations, I take pride in adapting my voice to meet the moment and the audience.
Assistant Professor of Practice and Journalist in Residence
Mercer UniversityAssistant Professor of Practice and Journalist in Residence
Aug. 2021 - May. 2025Macon, Georgia, United StatesI've had the privilege of preparing the next generation of journalists to think critically, report deeply, and tell stories that matter. My teaching spans core areas of the craft—including newswriting, data journalism, media entrepreneurship, audio storytelling, and political journalism—giving students both the foundational skills and forward-looking perspective they need in a rapidly evolving media landscape. Guiding students as they find their journalistic voice—whether in print, digital or audio platforms—has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. In addition to teaching, I served as the faculty advisor to the award-winning Mercer Cluster student newspaper. While I wasn't involved in day-to-day editorial decision making, the role did require ongoing management training and coaching with the student leadership. As journalist-in-residence, I also reported audio and digital stories for Macon-Newsroom.com, The (Macon) Telegraph, Georgia Public Broadcasting and other local and national publications.
