About

An Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning journalist with a varied background in newscast production, community reporting, fact-checking, copy editing, and communications. I currently work as the news editor for my hometown daily newspaper, The Journal Times. Prior to this, I produced the nightly 10 p.m. newscast for CBS News Colorado for three years. I love writing, I'm obsessed with details, and I'm a huge fan of team collaboration. I believe words can have the power to facilitate change. My skill set is wide and varied. I oversee a small-but-mighty team working to deliver impactful news to a multi-faceted community daily, with an emphasis on community-based reporting. I have worked in television news, written for online and print publications, managed professional social media accounts, and am a published poet. My hope and belief is that good storytelling is one of the best tools to make our communities seen, heard, and, ultimately, better. You can find much more about me at lasklba.com.
