About Me

I returned to Kent State University in July of 2024, as the Managing Editor of Kent State Today. Prior to this, I worked for more than 30 years in broadcast news, producing and executive producing everything from daily newscasts to election night coverage to political debates. During that time, I was nominated for several Emmy and Associated Press awards. I am a two-time graduate of Kent State, earning my B.S. in Broadcast News, followed by an M.A. in Public Relations.

What I Love About Kent State

I wouldn't be where I am today without Kent State. My undergrad education allowed me to be a successful journalist, while my post-graduate studies gave me the opportunity to branch out in new directions. Kent State has an amazing campus, but even more incredible people.

Fun Facts

I've played in the same fantasy baseball league for three decades. I'm an avid collectors of baseball cards. And, I've seen Bruce Springsteen in concert more than 20 times.
