Digital producer.
Former photojournalist.

I lead a team of producers managing newspaper websites in Connecticut for Hearst Connecticut Media Group. My work spans audience analytics, web strategy, and digital storytelling — built on 30+ years behind a camera covering everything from high school sports to the Gulf War.
