About


When I was younger, I loved to be outdoors. I still do, but I don’t get to spend the amount of time that I like. My love of the outdoors translates into the way I work and use social media in my job. I believe in organic, real communities and engagement. I’ve learned how through years of experimenting and communicating with social tools and my energy in a television newsroom. In the last six years, I’ve moved from traditional journalist to non-traditional thinker about journalism and education. This blog is a place where I hope to share my thoughts, ideas and hopes. I’m currently the Interactive Director at KOMU-TV and komu.com. At the same time, I’m an associate professor at the Missouri School of Journalism and was a part of the inaugural class of Reynolds Journalism Institute fellows (2008-09). It’s an amazing and exhausting combination. I have a chance to help build future journalists and I have a chance to play with new and useful technology. In the middle of it all, I’m looking at ways newsrooms and classrooms communicate with students, viewers and employees. I love engaging in my communities – near and far. I have a Master’s in Management and I’m pretty obsessed with workflow and newsroom communication. I see how those workflows and communication skills are INCREDIBLY useful in a classroom setting. My comments, rants, raves and ideas have everything to do with me and do not represent the views of KOMU-TV, KOMU.com, Reynolds Journalism Institute or the Missouri School of Journalism. You can also visit my mom advocacy world by visiting Born Just Right.
