I specialize in social media -- building online communities and driving website traffic by engaging audiences on networks like Facebook and Twitter. I also love to write.

After seven years as a digital journalist in Columbus, Ga., I joined the team at the Sacramento Business Journal in November 2013. I cover retail for the Business Journal and manage its social media accounts.

I value creativity, experimentation and deep emotions that can be conveyed in 140 characters or less.

I love appearing on camera. This piece of video journalism required eating a bunch of burgers: http://ow.ly/trVcY
