About Me and Journalism at LBCC
In addition to teaching LBCC's Journalism courses, I advise the students who work at The Commuter, the college's award-winning student newspaper and online news service. This term, I'm teaching News Reporting (JN216), Photojournalism (JN134) and Media & Society (JN201).
To learn more about Journalism and LBCC's media program, check out my blog. You don't have to be taking a Journalism class or majoring in Journalism to get involved at The Commuter. Other options include writing stories in the Journalism Lab (JN215A) or working on the copy desk, editing and taking pictures as part of the Design Lab (JN215B).
My background includes working for more than 20 years at the Corvallis Gazette-Times. Besides serving for nine years as managing editor, my experience includes work as a reporter, copy editor and Opinion page editor. I've written news and feature stories, along with sports and even taken some photos and designed my share of news pages.
I have an MBA from Willamette University in Salem and serve on the professional advisory board for the New Media Communications program at Oregon State University.
My initial training as a journalist was at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where I graduated with a degree in Mass Communication-Journalism and English. I went on to an internship at the Milwaukee Journal (now the Journal/Sentinel) and a fellowship at Arizona Newspapers, which includes the Arizona Republic. Over two recent summers I worked for an online newsletter sponsored by Sightline Institute.
