I currently work as the Coordinator of Student Media at Elon University. I advise The Pendulum, Elon’s weekly student newspaper, teach a section of Media Writing, maintain the School of Communications Web site and facilitate more cooperative relationships among student media. I’m also a book reviewer for Newspaper Research Journal and an assitant editor for Media History Monographs. I’ve helped re-establish a newspaper at Cummings High School, as well.

I graduated with honors and a degree in journalism from Elon University. I also minored in French and political science while at Elon. I attended graduate school at the University of Memphis, where I graduated with a master’s in journalism and served as a graduate assistant for the Newspaper Research Journal.

I have worked professionally as a freelancer for the Burlington (N.C.) Times-News and the Memphis Commercial Appeal. While in Burlington, I covered the gamut of sporting events, from professional football to professional hockey to high school sports. I also tried my hand at news stories for the Times-News.

While in Memphis, the Commercial Appeal assigned me mostly preps stories. I was also used extensively as a sports feature writer, and I worked for the CA’s Bartlett/Cordova office in the summer, where I wrote several features and news/features pieces.
