Sharing what we know is the cornerstone of journalism, and, as the industry and our jobs change, it’s never been more important to share what we know about ourselves, too.

I welcome opportunities to share my corner of the world, in private conversations or large groups, one-on-one threads or big conference rooms.

Some things I work on and speak about often:

• Launching Homicide Watch D.C.
• Entrepreneurial journalism
• Fundraising for independent projects
• Women in the media
• Jazz and innovation

If you’re planning a conference or speaker series, or simply want to chat, I’d love to hear from you. Reach me anytime at .
