Educator
I’m passionate about educating the next generation of journalists and storytellers. I worked for six years as the lead journalism instructor at the Magazine Writer’s Academy, a Europe-based online course geared toward educating students on freelance magazine writing. I also am a guest speaker on a variety of journalism topics for educational and other institutions, including Harvard University’s Extension School.
Speaker
I’ve been a featured travel expert on national TV, highlighting tips on curtailing airline fees on Good Morning America Now and on ways to snag cruise deals from close-to-home ports on ABC News Now. I’ve also been interviewed in travel-themed radio segments on national and local radio stations like NPR, and have been quoted for my travel expertise in articles from publications like the Los Angeles Times, Bankrate.com, and more.
