I’m a digital content strategist, editorial leader and U.S. Air Force veteran with experience across Fox News Digital, Citizen, PIX11 and DC News Now.

My work sits at the intersection of content strategy, audience growth, editorial operations and digital innovation. I’ve led breaking-news workflows, developed audience-focused distribution strategies, improved newsletters and publishing systems, and used analytics to help teams make smarter editorial decisions.

At Citizen, I helped lead editorial operations and audience-distribution efforts during a period of record growth, contributing to an all-time high of 1.53 million daily active users. At PIX11, I increased newsletter open rates from 40% to 52.8% and click-through rates from 2% to 5%, while my SEO-focused content generated more than 720,000 monthly pageviews. At DC News Now, I contributed to the station’s rebrand and helped strengthen its digital and social presence during a period in which pageviews doubled.

My experience spans SEO, social media, push notifications, newsletters, homepage programming, content optimization and cross-functional collaboration with editorial, product, design and leadership teams. I also explore how AI, automation and lightweight digital tools can improve editorial workflows and reduce repetitive work without sacrificing quality or judgment.

Beyond the newsroom, I have conceptualized, produced and hosted podcasts and digital video series covering sports, culture, entertainment and current events. That experience has strengthened my ability to develop distinct editorial voices, translate ideas across platforms and connect with different audiences.

As a veteran, I bring a calm, adaptable and team-first leadership style to fast-moving environments. I’m especially interested in opportunities focused on content strategy, editorial leadership, audience development, digital communications and content operations.
