Public Speaking
Nothing gets me more excited than getting in front of a classroom. I have been giving guest lectures at various journalism schools since 2011, speaking in person and via Skype. From teaching about social media newsgathering and breaking news to giving tips on mobile journalism best practices and how to get a job in the journalism industry, I love sharing my knowledge with students. I have also hosted workshops for teen journalists and spoken at conferences.
Want me to come speak at your class, panel or event? Reach out to me and let’s talk.
