Before joining the faculty at Valdosta State, I had ten years of industry experience in the production of news & sports. I have worked for companies like Walt Disney (ABC & ESPN), SJL Broadcasting, and Grey Television. I have also served in various roles from executive producer, director, and editor in freelance productions that have aired on networks like PBS. My work in industry has won many regional and national awards. I turned to academia to give back and help students achieve their goals. I enjoy working with students one-on-one on both production and research project for inside and outside the classroom. I have been honored to serve as an adviser to a dozen student honor projects that have won numerous research awards. My research area is in Media Law that covers topics of First Amendment law as well as Regulatory/Administrative law. I am currently the faculty adviser of Men's Lacrosse & Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society and co-adviser to Society of Collegiate Journalists.
