Experience Education

I am currently the video producer for CSTV-19, the City of College Station, TX, municipal television station.

From 1989 to 2006, I served as a staff photographer and video producer with the Office of University Relations (now Marketing & Communications) at Texas A&M University for 7 years.

Prior to that, I spent 2 years as a writer/photographer in the communications office at Texas A&M's College of Engineering (while attending graduate school), and 5 years as a reporter and photographer for the Bryan-College Station Press newspaper.

I hold bachelor's degrees from Texas A&M in English and journalism, as well as a master's degree in educational technology.
