Select Bylines and Journalism Projects
I have served as editor of several national publications, including U.S. News and World Report, Diverse: Issues In Higher Education, Education Dive, and HBCU Digest. I even briefly ran my own publication, Out of Bounds Magazine, which explored issues at the intersection of sport and social, political, and economic issues.
Journalism taught me to work twice as hard, multi-task more efficiently and think exceptionally well on my feet, and to be not just deadline-driven, but deadline-ruled. Journalism taught me to find the person no one is talking to, and ask that person the questions.
Here are some of my favorite articles from my career in journalism:

Out of Bounds Magazine | founder, editor
In November 2014, I launched a print and online magazine that focused on the intersection of sports and economics, social and political issues. We tackled issues of gender, race and class and their intersections with professional and intercollegiate sports. I oversaw production; conceptualized, assigned and edited all stories; managed a team of writers and designers and managed the publication's budget to put out a product I was proud of each month. I also wrote feature-length articles in each edition. The print magazine ran for eight issues, and the publication's online presence would continue through the end of 2017. Print volumes appear below.
