Lisa Sculati’s Summary

❖Pursuing new career opportunities in Stockholm, Sweden or San Francisco❖

With more than 14 years of experience in broadcast journalism, I have ventured into online media territory, writing about social media trends, social media strategy and managing a large online community, as I continue to pursue journalistic or PR opportunities (especially interested in cultural journalism. Cultural exploration is one of my passions!) Working in the 4th largest media market in the U.S. has given me the ability to truly understand how to reach out to and connect with a target audience.

I seek new opportunities in writing, online media (including online community or social media management), voiceover work or broadcasting in Stockholm or San Francisco.

As a sports journalist at Westwood One/Metro Networks, I researched, wrote and delivered on-air radio sports reports in a short window of time. I also have extensive experience as an on-air radio traffic reporter, have worked as a broadcast financial news reporter and have extensive experience writing and editing news for radio. The stations I reported for (using the "air names" of Dana Fields and Lisa Cruz) included KQED Public Radio, KNBR 680, KNBR 1050 and KFOG (and I felt lucky to work with such wonderful people).

To effectively communicate in the Nordic business community, I am studying Swedish, the language and culture.
