OBJECTIVE
To obtain a position where I can use my experience as a newsroom leader, editor and multi-
media producer to engage audiences with relevant content.
QUALIFICATIONS
I am currently the Director of Interactive Media for The Detroit News where I lead efforts to en-
hance the digital delivery of news and information. I have presided over the integration of the
print and web news teams, as well as developing the news operation s social media strategy.
Previously, I was the Associate Managing Editor for Multimedia and the Associate Managing
Editor for Photography for the Chicago Tribune. I was the first person at the Tribune to have
held both A.M.E. positions.
I have extensive experience in online team leadership, multimedia production and audience
engagement through social media. My career in journalism has spanned the transition from
analog to digital news delivery and the advent and development of multimedia storytelling
manifested in projects as diverse as award winning multimedia news projects, a photo book,
a traveling photo exhibit, contributions to scholarly articles, and a documentary film, as well as
traditional news venues.
Additonally, I have lectured nationally and internationally on multimedia, newsroom conver-
gence and audience engagement, developing lecture series and study plans for journalists.
MILESTONES
I brokered a co-production partnership between the Chicago Tribune and
Kartemquin Films that resulted in the award winning documentary, At the Death House
Door. The film is a compelling, emotional documentary based on the Tribune s investiga-
tive reporting about the wrongful execution of Carlos DeLuna.
NAA Digital Edge award - Most Innovative Multimedia Storytelling: A Tank of
Gas, A World of Trouble, which took users on an oil safari with video and other multi-
media elements illustrating the declining world oil supply. The multimedia project, which
I managed, took the innovative approach of tracking the gas sold at a suburban gas sta-
tion back to its sources at conflict zones around the world.
Online News Association Award for Service Journalism: The Mercury Menace. This
interactive web presentation examined how toxic mercury enters the food chain through
large fish. The site featured an interactive mercury calculator that allowed users to enter
their weight to calculate the amount of different types of fish that could be safely con-
sumed.

explored the rich history of baseball in Chicago. The program, which was shot and edited
by my video production team, aired on cable and public television.

sales of the newspaper by 100,000. I was responsible for the project s conceptualization
and management of the design, production and distribution.
