Having trained as a radio and television reporter in the U.S. Air Force, news room pressure is old hat. I hustled getting a morning radio show on the air in South Korea for nearly two years, bringing news to troops serving overseas. After getting off the air, I would grab a video camera and file stories for a nightly half-hour television newscast. Suffice it to say, working while military officers peered over my shoulder led to a quick mastery of news production and reporting.

Since separating from the military, I’ve worked in the entertainment-news industry, beginning at Entertainment Tonight/The Insider — right as then shamed Pat O’Brien returned from pop-culture exile — and then The Hollywood Reporter.

And for the past few years I’ve been working in new media as a senior editor and video producer for BroadwayWorld.com. I’ve also been contributing as a featured blogger for The Huffington Post, Fancast.com and TheWrap.com.

Now based in Manhattan, and having recently graduated from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, I’m currently working as the New Media Specialist at the American Museum of Natural History.
