NEW & FEATURE WRITING
I am an assistant professor at Delaware Valley University, teaching journalism, social media, multimedia storytelling, public relations and Introduction to Mass Media. I freelance as a reporter, photographer and media consultant. I believe strong storytelling helps to connect communities, inform the public and inspire positive change.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO
Photography has changed the way I look at life, giving me a deeper and multi-dimensional glimpse into everyday interactions with people, places and nature. While I started as a photojournalist, I grew to embrace nature and portrait photography and taught basic photography at Cabrini University.
SOCIAL MEDIA COVERAGE
I teach social media storytelling and strategy at Delaware Valley University, where students of media learn to shape content around elements that attract audiences, while capturing authentic moments and using vetted information. Social media creation for good is at the heart of my teaching philosophy.
