I spent over a decade as a newspaper reporter and editor, working for publications in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I made the move to online news about 13 years ago, going to work as a Regional Editor in charge of launching a dozen New Hampshire Patch.com/AOL news sites. A decade ago I jumped from there to NECN to become their digital director. In the years since, we added Telemundo to our operation, launched NBC10 Boston and then moved into a new building in Needham alongside NBC Sports Boston.
I’ve only recently joined BIMA, but I’ve been really impressed at the diverse group of digital-minded professionals, and the thought leadership and networking events I’ve been able to attend have helped me learn more about the industry and make new acquaintances.
