Dear Parents and Students,
I am a freelance writer and editor with over a decade of experience in journalism, mostly with a concentration in financial reporting; however, in the past couple of years, I've concentrated on more broad-based journalism, including travel and human-interest features.
I’m also a mother, dog lover and avid traveler with an array of life experience that is imperative to critical thinking, creativity and patience. I grew up in small towns but have also lived in some of the largest cities of the country—Houston, Los Angeles and Chicago.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and have written for various print media, including a global publishing house and newspaper, providing exclusive coverage of energy industry events and conferences from many locations including Houston, California, New York, Singapore and London.
I've also been a broadcast correspondent for an online energy news outlet that required multiple live reports daily from Houston, and often traveled to report live, including from Chicago, Alaska and an OPEC meeting in Cairo, Egypt. I've conducted several exclusive interviews with CEOs and government officials, and have an array of experience in reporting high-profile events including comprehensive coverage of the Enron bankruptcy and related Arthur Andersen federal trial.
I've also held a commodities license, working as an energy broker in Chicago and Houston for seven years. These experiences have required acute listening and personal communication skills, as well as consistent attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines.
For the past 18 months I have been a contributing writer to local publications in Erath, Comanche and Hamilton counties of Texas having moved to Stephenville from Houston last summer to be nearer to family—and to pursue a passion I have to expand recycling in rural areas of the state. In the past six months I've developed a website to promote news and events of local recycling
