(self portrait)
For nearly a decade I've had a varied career doing just about everything: writing, editing, photography, managing, social networking, public speaking and trying to keep my head above water in the world of "newspapers are dead." My years as a journalist were a roller coaster I don't regret paying my admission to get on, strapping in and hanging on tight. And it allowed me to continue to grow my talents and be flexible.
Media
Now in marketing and communications, I use my journalism experience to further the brand of a small Native American food company with a big story.
I also provide media consultation and public relations assistance for Dallas-based small companies and artists.
Photography
Art is a major part of my life which I've channeled into a small business shooting portraits, weddings and art photography...including gummy bears. I have photographed local celebrities and leaders, provided multiple front-page images for the The Dallas Morning News weekly neighborsgo.
