I'm a skilled story-teller (Fearless in the field!  Finding and booking the right - often exclusive - interview to craft the narrative) with an unrelenting focus on developing stories that the audience needs to hear.   

Over the years as a journalist, I've honed the skills necessary to ask regular people, political leaders, community organizers, corporate executives, etc. about relevant topics.  

I listen carefully and follow up with great probing questions for the best sound bites to craft engaging content.
