Biography

I'm an award-winning reporter based in New Orleans with 20 years of journalism experience. My specialties are lightning fast breaking news coverage and consumer-oriented utility content. For the past nine years, I've been a breaking news reporter for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune in New Orleans. Previously, I co-created and ran a popular business blog for a daily newspaper in Mississippi and was the digital editor for two trade magazines in New York. My day currently consists of monitoring for tips and trends, writing breaking and trending stories, posting national wire stories, optimizing staff stories for mobile readers, training colleagues about digital best practices and working with colleagues to promote stories across our various platforms. My primary beats are criminal justice, weather, hurricane season, traffic and the general news of the day.
