I teach in the Media Production concentration of the Television Radio Department and am also a faculty in the Documentary Studies and Production degree program. Among the courses I currently teach include; Advanced Studio Production, Senior Media Thesis, Documentary Journalism Workshop, Television Production and Direction, Introduction to Audio Production and Introduction to Television Studio Production.
I also served as Manager of Television Operations for ICTV, Ithaca College Television, from 2007-2010.
Prior to coming to Ithaca, I worked in a variety of capacities in various television stations, including as a News Producer and Reporter and newscast Director as well as numerous other production positions. Additionally I worked for a number of years at the PBS affiliate in Syracuse, WCNY-TV 24, as a Producer/Director overseeing a variety of studio and remote productions.
While at WCNY, I received several grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to produce nationally distributed documentaries on issues including homeless people, working poor families, struggling dairy farmers, "behind the scenes" of television news and local currency systems.
During my time at Ithaca College, I completed a documentary entitled "Never Too Old for Gold" showcasing the athletes and competitions of the Empire State Senior Games. This documentary was distributed nationally by American Public Television. I have recently worked with the Duke University Center for Documentary Studies as part of it's Groundwork media initiative covering the issue of natural gas drilling in the Tompkins County Town of Caroline.
Currently I am producing a documentary on the New York State craft beer industry entitled "Tapping the Empire" for national distribution on public television.
I joined the Ithaca College faculty in 2001. I earned a Master of Science degree in Television Production from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from SUNY Cortland.
