Most recently, I was an award-winning lead reporter, content coach, editor and podcaster at the Las Cruces Sun-News in Las Cruces, NM. Before that, I was Director of Communications for Las Cruces Public Schools. I'm also a former Public Information Officer for the Third Judicial District Attorney's Office. Now, I'm striking out on my own with Organ Mountain News. I am a fan of journalism, media and radio. I’m also interested in photography, design and typography.
