About

I’m a journalist with business experience and a passionate interest in interactive media and marketing. I am executive features editor at Marketing Land and contributing editor at Search Engine Land, writing about paid search and related topics, including local and mobile. Prior to joining Third Door Media, I worked for five years in community and business development at Federated Media Publishing, managing partnerships with independent publishers. While at FM, I forged relationships with well-known bloggers in many verticals, working most closely with those in the Parenting and Small Business categories.

Prior to my time at Federated Media, I covered the interactive marketing business — encompassing everything from search to e-mail to display to blogging — as a journalist for ClickZ. I wrote about the then-burgeoning New York Internet start-up scene for @NY from 1998 to 1999, and have also worked as a general-assignment and medical reporter for KTRH NewsRadio in Houston, TX.

I started my professional career as Radio Station Manager at Taping for the Blind in Houston, after earning a degree in Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin in 1989. I capped off my educational credentials in 1998 with a masters in journalism from Columbia University in New York City.
