Teaching

I am a seasoned journalism educator now teaching my 19th semester at the university level.

 

• 2022-Present: I teach the University of Missouri School of Journalism’s 4424-7424 Covering Traumatic Events course for undergraduate, graduate, Honors College and foreign exchange students each spring, summer and fall semester. My course focuses on how to responsibly report on people who have experienced trauma and how my students can stay mentally and physically healthy while covering natural disasters, war and other traumatic events.

• 2010-2023: At Kennesaw State University outside of Atlanta, I created and taught courses on investigative reporting and how to cover traumatic events, jails, government and politics. I also taught COM4420 Advanced Media Writing, JOUR3330 News Reporting and Writing and COM2135 Writing for Public Communication. I guided my students’ articles from pitch to publication in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s print and online editions and for Fresh Take Georgia, KSU’s digital news service.   

• 2004: I taught a semester of MASC203 Writing for the Media at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.

• 2025: I visited the University of Missouri School of Journalism campus, where I provided trauma-informed reporting training for faculty and students, the Columbia Missourian newsroom staff and the Alfred Friendly Press Partners fellows, who are foreign journalists in exile from their homelands, including Afghanistan, Ukraine and Vietnam.

• 2025: I delivered a presentation about how to remain resilient and avoid burnout in journalism during an event I co-organized with the Association of Health Care Journalists, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Atlanta Press Club and the Georgia Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.
