My Voice Experience

As a nine-year producer/host of a live call-in trivia program on a non-profit radio station in suburban New York City, the program featured long and ahort form original comedy sketches. These sketches ranged from satires of current events to parodies of classic and current films, television shows and commercials.

My career includes commercial radio copywriting and production for local New York and New Hampshire radio stations. The clientele included local mom and pop stores, auto dealers, restaurants to area retail and technology-based industries. This variety of clients helped me to develop a diverse writing, voice and production skill set which culminated in my winning the RAB Orson Welles Award for Radio Creativity.

Today my talents are at work in the world of corporate training. My focus is on the creation and execution of successful workshops and seminars. This requires top-notch presentation skills which incorporate speaking while utilizing engaging powerpoint and video media.

Additional Skills

At present I am the director of Hearth Media, which is a non-profit designed to bring media experiences to schools. This project is a work in progress and had a preliminary unveiling at the 2011 Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference in Manchester, NH.

My educational work includes bringing Low Power FM Stations to the New Hampshire Public School Community. From obtaining the FCC License to exposing students to live radio interviews in the classroom, I have incorporated my hosting and producer talents to bring about quality and exciting learning experiences for students.

In addition to the above, I have brought live digital field trip experiences to the school learning environment. This entailed working with students to develop and ask questions for live field trip hosts to respond to. This made for a very engaging learning experience for my students, who ranged in age from middle school through college.
