Senior Digital Strategist
Spectrum
(Privately Held; Public Relations and Communications industry)
September 2006 — Present (2 years 11 months)
At Spectrum, I am responsible for creating and implementing online strategies to complement traditional public relation agendas. I oversee the execution of our plans, keep clients and staff apprised of trends in new media and recruit highly motivated, talented people to be part of our growing department.

DC Rep, MTV Street Team '08
MTV Networks
(Public Company; VIA; Entertainment industry)
January 2008 — November 2008 (11 months)
I recently finished an apprentice program with MTV News and the Knight Foundation called Street Team ’08. I was selected to be the Washington, DC correspondent for the team and submitted weekly multimedia stories on issues facing young people.
I went undercover to the Quantico Brig for a series about Marine desertion. I was embedded with a group of College Republicans and sent to Minneapolis/St. Paul where I aired live mobile-to-web reports from the Convention floor. On Election Night in November, I carried the Street Team torch and appeared live on Associated Press’s Election Night web cast.
I conducted all aspects of news gathering and production. I researched stories, called sources, wrote copy, blogs and captions, appeared on camera and marketed all of my pieces through social network sites ranging from DIGG to Facebook to Twitter.

Production Assistant
NBC Chicago
(Broadcast Media industry)
May 2005 — August 2005 (4 months)
This summer was spent waking up at 4am, getting to the studio on Michigan Ave by 5am, and scrambling to make the weekend morning news cast as seamless as possible. I also got to follow around reporter, Anita Padilla, while she chased stories in the city and burbs.

Communications Intern
General Electric Corporate
(Public Company; Financial Services industry)
May 2004 — August 2004 (4 months)
Here I was part of GE's Communication Leadership Development Program (CLDP). My assignment was to Fleet Services in Minneapolis, where I worked in internal communications. I also worked on a national project with the twenty other CLDP interns, to analyze GE's Press Center and prepare and present recommendations at the end of the program to Communication execs at their Crotonville campus.

Correspondent
Northwest Indiana Times
(Writing and Editing industry)
May 2003 — August 2003 (4 months)
This was my first experience really chasing stories. I covered local news, like the annual 4th of July turtle race and features on local profiles of exceptional character.
