Thrilled to learn an ongoing project, for which I narrate, has received three The Anthem Awards. These are the first EVER for AARP Policy Now. Congratulations to AARP and the entire team!

I am so proud to work with Kim Sedmak, Don Fish, and Felipe Ruiz-Mendoza on these videos.

The series was recognized with a Gold, Silver, and Bronze Anthem Award, all in the human rights category. The GOLD was in the Human & Civil Rights Category for News & Journalism.

The online series first debuted in June 2021 and is designed to “lift policy off the page.” The videos are distributed via social media monthly. To date, AARP has recorded more than 4.37 million views on X alone.

Truly love my freelance life. It is so enriching.

The link below will take you to all the episodes. Take a moment to watch one. They're only about 2 minutes long and chock full of important information, no matter your age. https://lnkd.in/ghZV57rv

Apparently it's National Radio Day. One I wholeheartedly celebrate!

I started my broadcasting career as a high school student working at my local radio station in Warner Robins, GA, WQCK. While going to college I worked at WSB FM in Atlanta and after many TV jobs in between, I got back into radio in DC. I've worked as a SiriusXM Sports update anchor, at Voice of America Radio as a news update anchor and at WTOP NewsWTOP as an anchor in both sports and news. Radio has been so good to me.

I really enjoy Washington Commanders super fan Melba Jacobson. I have kept up with her since meeting her at training camp 10 years ago. I was working WTOP News Sunday or I would have gone to her 💯th birthday party. She's been alive during 17 presidencies!! 🥂 to Melba! 🎂

Washington Commanders super fan Melba Jacobson recently turned 100 years old! I met her at training camp 10 years ago and Jacobson is still going strong with her fandom.

It’s been a heck of a morning over here at WTOP News. Everyone is working on the story about the assassination attempt on former President Trump and then we learned former Baltimore Ravens receiver has died. He just turned 40 on Thursday. More in sports at :25 and :55 on WTOP. Also learning today that former 90210 star Shannen Dougherty died from breast cancer. And earlier in the week s*x therapist Dr Ruth Westheimer and exercise guru Richard Simmons passed. All of this is a reminder how precious life is. Hug your loved ones.

My office today! The atrium at the National Portrait Gallery USA… it brings me such joy to hang in a space that many make big plans to visit. And what a surprise… random sighting of my WFLA News Channel 8 colleague, Jeff Patterson and daughter Katie.

Listen closely to the video linked below. Around :48 you'll hear a familiar voice. 😉 I'm so grateful to have provided the voiceover for this video, and one prior, for the University of Maryland Global Campus. I've worked with Senior Video Producer, Lauren Cardillo and editor Tanya Spann Roche on various projects over the years. It's nice to have trusted relationships in the industry. Thank you, Lauren, Tanya and Director of Content and Broadcast Video Production, Jerry Moxley for using my voice to tell the stories you need to share about UMGC.

If you're looking for someone to tell a story with their voice or you need an entire production team, I'm here for you. Whether it's me or someone else, the contractor or vendor you need is usually just a contact away.
