OTHER EDUCATION
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
I have spent nearly a decade in a top-50 newsroom. Between the NBC and ABC affiliates in Buffalo, I have professional experience as a photojournalist, news producer, reporter and executive producer. In 2015, I entered into the corporate communications world at Greatbatch Medical and then the Buffalo Niagara Partnership.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
The best advice I ever received was from a former college professor that said you learn better by doing. I practice that philosophy by encouraging students to take risks and not to be afraid to make mistakes. It is a mission of mine to go through each project with every student and/or group, with a goal of improving their work each time.
CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS/PROJECTS
PERSONAL INTERESTS/COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Outside of the classroom, I am a big Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres fan. My love for travel and sports usually collides and I end up going across the country to see my team play. I am an avid golfer and bowler. I spend my summers working in the city of Buffalo helping Catholic Charities provide employment opportunities to underprivileged high school students.
