I am a digital storyteller and currently the Community Manager at Mashable.com. Most recently, I worked on social media at The New York Times and received a Master of Science degree in Digital Media at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City where I produced NYC 3.0, a website that included an in-depth documentary on New York City's tech startup community. Prior to Columbia, I studied at the University of Minnesota where I received a B.A. in Journalism, summa cum laude, in 2009. While at the University of Minnesota, I worked as a reporter, managing editor and editor-in-chief for four years at The Minnesota Daily, the fourth largest newspaper in Minnesota. There I worked to re-design Mndaily.com, increased Web production and directed new Web enterprises, including: blogs, multimedia, forums, Campus Tweets, the Daily Facebook application, Twitter account and more. I am available for hire to consult you or your business on how to effectively integrate social media into your professional strategy.
I have also written for the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, the Star Tribune, Poynter.org, Mashable.com and more. My interests are in digital media and how to best utilize social media to reach audiences. I am an ideas person and am passionate about the future of storytelling online.
