About

At The San Diego Union-Tribune, my focus has been on crafting compelling narratives around social justice and delving into the lives of influential San Diegans through my weekly columns. With my editorial expertise, I have spent more than 20 years as a columnist and staff writer at various daily newspapers, honing my skills in web content and leveraging social networking to enhance reader engagement and community interaction.My mission is to spotlight community activists, academics, and volunteers, facilitating conversations that underscore the significance of a range of topics, including music in education, artistry, representation, and inclusivity. The One-on-One series, a staple of my Saturday columns, reflects this commitment, presenting a platform where diverse voices and stories are not just heard, but resonate with the broader public, fostering a more informed and empathetic society.
