I want to make the web a better place to live.
Whether I'm developing news packages, landing pages or social marketing strategies, I'm constantly seeking ways to better promote content online.
I hail from a strong journalism background and adhere to ideals of newspapers. At the same time, I embrace the communication revolution highlighted by blogs, video blogs, podcasts and social media and networking. I started blogging in early 2004 and haven't been able to kick the fever since. I currently write a blog about online journalism with tips and thoughts for journalists in the new media landscape. Check it out at http://www.newmediabytes.com.
I lead a team of online producers in promoting people's stories, videos, slideshows and photos to a global audience. The ability to adapt to changing situations and find creative solutions to presentation problems has become key.
I pay close attention to social marketing strategy and search engine optimization techniques in order to approach projects from innovative angles and present content in a way that best fits web consumers.
And why do I do all this? Because I love it! I love developing information packages that people like the share and send to their friends. I truly enjoy kicking off viral content.
What other profession could give me all this freedom and creativity?
