Senior Project Director
American Society of News Editors |
Working with nation's leading newsroom executives, my role was both strategic and operational - and always on deadline. It blended leadership and supervision with hands-on work that required discretion, judgment and refined skills. Highlights: • Catalyst for a national youth journalism program. Launched in 2000, it grew into a half-dozen entrepreneurial projects that attracted $12 million in grants and program revenue. • Program management includes contracting and financial reporting with five major public universities and procurements with multiple vendors and contractors. • My team created and launched an online hub for 4,000 youth multimedia news sites. • We also developed what was then the web's most frequently visited youth journalism education site • Skills include staff management, leadership, research, editing, branding and engagement. One example is overseeing the creation of, and developing content for Sunshine Week, a national, non-partisan good government initiative. As game users win, they're invited to post a badge on Facebook or Twitter. • Smart work ethic, creativity and clam demeanor came in handy during more than 75 conventions, conferences and special events that involved leaders in the news industry, government, technological and social change. • Shaped a landmark, four-year undertaking on journalism credibility and a publication on how news organizations can localize international events.
