One backpack journalist. One multimedia love affair.
In a nutshell
I graduated from George Mason University with a BA in communications (focus in journalism). Last year, I served as online managing editor for Mason's traditional print publication, Broadside. Frustrated by the lack of focus the print newsroom gave to their online publication, I worked with Student Media to create a new daily news/convergence website called Connect Mason. The site offers breaking news, multimedia packages and user-generated content for the Mason community. It is used as a convergence model for GMU's Student Media groups - featuring content from Broadside, WGMU, Mason Cable Network and others. Check it out. It won an Associate Collegiate Press Pacemaker Award.
Currently I'm the Assistant New Media Editor for the Courier-Post.
