List one or two things you are most proud or professionally: I am most proud of my work merging a print and broadcast newsroom, implementing the work done in my graduate thesis. I am also proud of the family of Web site I helped to design and still maintain today gazettextra.com, wclo.com, wjvl.com.

Give a one or two sentence statement relating to your teaching philosophy: I believe students learn best with experience and should be academically adventurous. That means letting students exercise their thoughts so that they might discover workable ideas and expand the minds of those around them.
