About Me

Sauntering through New York City at midnight after a journalism conference, withstanding an ear bashing from an incensed principal, hosting a weekly radio show, or sitting in the design room in a creative fever putting mind to print with minutes to go: this is The Tower newspaper. With a staff of 70, The Tower has been publishing weekly for 91 years, earning it the title of longest lasting of its kind and honors from the NSPA, CSPA, Quill and Scroll, and others. I was captivated by it.

My first year as a page editor revealed a knack for design that led to senior staff seeking my help. I was exhilarated by a roomful of designers pushing to meet a swiftly approaching deadline, focused on their work, stressed, but feeling the kinship of a shared project. I alone was there for every single issue, with a page every single week. Now I am Supervising Editor at Large, leading the design staff, spearheading new innovations, and reviewing content.
