About
At the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I work with journalism students finding fresh ways to tell stories with responsible reporting, multimedia tools and original writing. I also teach a popular online News Literacy class designed for all majors. Students in my classes have won five national Society of Professional Journalists Mark of Excellence Awards and dozens of regional SPJ awards, in addition to hundreds of statewide honors.
I produce freelance stories for Wisconsin Public Radio and other news organizations, and have won five regional Edward R. Murrow awards for public media work.
Before teaching, I hosted and produced a daily interview show on WUWM Milwaukee Public Radio and before that, worked as a TV news reporter and anchor in Milwaukee and Denver.
