Everybody has a back-story, the one that tells WHY you are who you are today. My interest in journalism can be traced back to my dad. He wasn't a journalist, but he loved reading the paper and watching the news at the same time -something he still does.
When I was 15, I asked him "Isn't watching the news just like having someone read the paper out loud to you?" He supposed it was, and that's when I knew I wanted to be the one writing or speaking the news.
I earned a degree in Radio and Television Communications in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. My first job was as a television news anchor and reporter in the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta. A few years later, I crossed to the world of print in Houston, Texas.
Words, whether written or spoken, have the power to change lives, inspire action or simply soothe the soul.
