About Me   About Me
My "day job" is managing viewer created content at Current, an independent media company led by former Vice President Al Gore and entrepreneur Joel Hyatt. I have a background in journalism and producing/packaging online and print content for both teens and a broader consumer audience. You can view my portfolio at Word_Geek.com.

I began my career working in youth media at Teen Voices, a Boston-based non-profit magazine written by and for teen women. It was there that I realized both the power of young people's writing and the ongoing struggle it is to keep a non-profit organization going.

I left to go back to school where I earned a master's degree in journalism with a concentration in new media at Northwestern University.

After graduation I headed to New York where I was an editorial Web producer for several Internet companies during the height of the dot com bubble including About.com and Oxygen Media. At Oxygen, I launched the Web counterpart to the Trackers (Oxygen's now defunct teen television show) TV segment called the POV-J Network (Point of View Journalist). I recruited teens from across the country who produced Web and TV stories from their "point of view" for the network.

I left New York in 2000 to work for Kibu, another now defunct start-up dot.com for teen girls that was located in Silicon Valley. After the bubble began to burst in April of 2000 and Kibu closed its doors in September 2000, I went to work for Netscape Communications where I led the creation of feature programming including seasonal and holiday packages and later ran the TV and Movies channels for all of AOL's Web Properties. I then worked for KeepMedia, a paid content service founded by Louis Borders (Borders Books, WebVan).

I launched Ypulse.com in May of 2004 and have been publishing five days a week ever since.
