Having been a radio journalist for many years - I am an EXCELLENT interviewer. I have interviewed Presidents, foreign diplomats, rock stars, movie actors, playwrights and artists of all kinds - not to mention many sports celebrities. Great with complicated pharmaceutical jargon. I have always worked in the broadcast media in one way or another. Because of that, I am an information junkie and possess alot of information about many topics. Having also done TV fundraisers and events, I am confident in front of a camera. I have also produced, field produced, been casting director, written scripts for and been talent for corporate videos and training films. I never meet a crowd I didn't like. LOVE public speaking.
