Digital geek

A North Carolinian by way of Miami, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Atlanta. Grew up loving comics — the art, the storytelling — and now I find a similar joy as a multimedia content creator.

I’ve worked for profit and non-profit, local and global news, and, most recently, higher-ed. There are amazing life stories to tell across the board and multimedia immerses people like nothing else.

Video. Audio. Photos. I love it all.
