About

I have been a journalist for print and broadcast, a U.S. Senate press secretary, a college relations director, a journalism teacher and a freelance writer and consultant. I was an award-winning reporter at the Minneapolis Tribune from 1971-1981 covering everything from police to general assignment to legal affairs. I worked at WCCO-TV from 1981-1990 where I was assignment editor and then assistant news director and supervised the newsroom’s political coverage. I was the late Sen. Paul Wellstone’s first Washington, D.C., press secretary from 1991-1993. I was director of college relations at Macalester College from 1993-2008 where I worked on everything from promoting the visit of former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan to campus to creation of a series of image advertisements in The New York Times to development of a lecture series in conjunction with Minnesota Public Radio to media relations work on behalf of faculty and staff. During that time, I also taught a journalism course every year. I am currently a communications and media consultant. A 1971 honors graduate of the University of Minnesota, I also spent a year at Stanford University on a journalism fellowship sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
