Before I found myself in the trenches of hashtags and social media, I spent years as a journalist and reporter in the Washington DC area, covering an array of topics for The Gazette, a small community newspaper based out of the region. Years later, I had the opportunity to cut my reporting teeth by writing articles, maintaining show pages and creating photo galleries for Discovery.com. Here are some standout pieces from over the course of my career:
