When it comes to dating, we all have a type. Tall, dark, skinny, blond, buff. The list goes on. Over the last two years I’ve noticed that I’m no longer attracted to the type I once was—preppy, frat-tastic, closed-minded. I suppose this transformation had a lot to do with my changing political beliefs and my deepening interest in music and art. Not to say fratties can’t be liberal or into music; it’s just rare. These days I’ve become interested in what I like to call the Kentucky Mountain Man.

I always knew I wanted to be a journalist from the time I was nine years old. Wearing a pair of my of my mom’s heels as I pretended to be Lois Lane was a regular occurrence for me. And with help from my older brother (and his computer), I frequently produced my own versions of the Daily Planet.
Times have changed since then, and so has journalism. If Lois Lane were around today, she’d be expected to tweet about Lex Luther’s latest antics and Facebook her encounters with Superman. These days technology has progressed farther than most journalists and communicators. Good reporting and PR still exist, but that isn’t enough to break through the Internet clutter.
That’s why I’m here. If reporting or blogging is what you need, I’m a multi-platform journo with a Master’s from Northwestern University. If you’re looking for a crash course in digital media, social media, or anything-else media, I’m also your girl. I’ll set you up and train you on the latest social media tools or pinpoint areas on your site that are less than optimal for our digital world via a comprehensive strategy. I might not be Lois Lane, but I’ll certainly try my best to be your digital Superwoman.
