Journalist.
HBCU Advocate.
Sports Junkie.
{Etc.}
In my time in journalism, I have served as editor of several publications and even launched my own publication, Out of Bounds Magazine. My experience ranges from education to politics, defense to sports. I've managed teams of writers (both staff and freelance) and designers to produce quality publications on tight deadlines. I've learned to work twice as hard, multi-task more efficiently and think exceptionally well on my feet, and I have learned to be not just deadline-driven, but deadline-ruled.
Along the way, I have found myself a (sometimes-reluctant) advocate for historically Black colleges and universities. I have served on, moderated and organized various panels and events dedicated to promoting the vitality of and addressing the issues surrounding these storied institutions.
Broadly, my interests in education include issues around diversity and access in K-12 and higher education, Black male achievement and the overall idea of an achievement gap, issues surrounding student-athletes and the business of intercollegiate sports. (For more information on all of the things I cover, please visit the "How to Pitch" page.)
When I'm not covering education, you will likely find me decrying the lack of a closer on the Nationals' pitching staff, cursing the Philadelphia Eagles management for any number of bad decisions, reveling in the glory days of Laker fandom, chairing my local elementary school's PTO meetings or escaping all of the above on a beach somewhere.
