Experience
- Dec 2009 - PresentEditor/Producer, Yahoo! TV / Yahoo!As part of Yahoo! TV's small but dedicated team, I dream up, build and edit features, promos, photo galleries, and blog posts. I am especially involved with reworking our existing tools to better promote our content partners' news stories and experimenting with creative ways to integrate social networking. When I'm not busy updating the site, you can often find me interviewing one of my favorite TV stars.
- May 2009 - Nov 2009Content Producer, omg! / Yahoo!I helped Yahoo!'s celebrity gossip site maintain its category-leading position by keeping its front page updated with the freshest news stories, blog posts, photos, and videos. I also built and edited a popular weekly photo gallery recapping the biggest pop-culture events, and I was responsible for pitching stories from all of Yahoo!'s core entertainment properties to the site's front page editors.
- Sept 2008 - Dec 2008Multimedia Producer, Yahoo! News / Yahoo!I made sure that the day's top stories had the latest and most appropriate video and photo assets attached. I built photo galleries, assembled hubs for key news topics, activated live video streams and kept editors informed of the best video clips submitted by our providers. I also acted as a liaison with those providers, troubleshooting video problems and requesting specific clips on behalf of our editors.
- Feb 2008 - Sept 2008Senior Producer, MTV News Online / MTV NetworksAs the senior member of MTV News' West Coast production team, I built daily news articles, features and blog posts; edited story art, photo galleries and videos; and published content to MTV.com and related sites (VH1.com, mtvU.com, MTV2.com) and MTV News' family of blogs (Newsroom, MTV Movies Blog, You R Here).
- May 2006 - Feb 2008Producer, MTV News Online / MTV NetworksAs a member of MTV News' West Coast production team, I built daily news articles, features and blog posts; edited story art, photo galleries and videos; and published content to MTV.com and related sites (VH1.com, mtvU.com, MTV2.com) and MTV News' family of blogs (Newsroom, MTV Movies Blog, You R Here).
- Nov 2000 - May 2006Editor, MTV News Online / MTV NetworksAs an editor I was responsible for fact checking, line editing and copy editing news stories and features. I wrote eye-catching headlines and promotional copy on a daily basis, along with the occasional band profile, live review or feature presentation. As the site's copy chief, I decided matters of style and maintained the internal stylebook.
- Mar 2001 - Mar 2005Copy Editor and Writer / Devil in the WoodsDevil in the Woods (a.k.a. DIW) was a nationally distributed, quarterly published indie-rock magazine.
- Apr 1999 - Nov 2000Copy Editor and Rock/Pop Editor / SonicNet.comI edited news, reviews and features for SonicNet.com's daily news page as well as the monthly online magazine Addicted to Noise. In my final two months as copy editor I was promoted to senior copy editor. When SonicNet.com split into separate genres, I was promoted to editor of the rock and pop sections, deciding the daily lineups; generating and assigning stories; editing all written content; and working with producers to ensure that each piece was rich with audio and visual media. I also wrote album reviews and contributed to the site's award-winning investigation into the Woodstock '99 riots.
- Dec 1995 - Apr 1999Copy Editor, Paginator, Reporter, Music Columnist, Community News Editor / North County TimesOver the course of several years at this daily paper serving northern San Diego County I was able to put a variety of skills to use, laying out pages, editing copy, taking photos, writing stories and even penning a biweekly column about the San Diego music scene.
