About Me

I started on-air as a sports reporter in Hagerstown, Md. I was a one-woman-band - shooting, writing, editing, and working the teleprompter with my foot. After almost two years, I moved to NYC and joined Pseudo.com - the world's first interactive TV network. Incredible concept, ahead of its time, and victim of the dotcom bust. The following years were filled with a series for Discovery International, a pilot for the History Channel, a pilot for the Travel Channel, and countless auditions. Client feedback research for a big investment bank paid the bills. I then took a gig with Kuma and made news reports for their reality-based video games. CNN came calling in February 2005, and on Valentine's Day, I started covering the Internet as a beat on national TV (Yes, I was the Blog Chick). Since leaving CNN, I started this site, caught up on sleep, reconnected with friends and family, wrote a little for Americablog, and threw down the gauntlet. I said I'd leave TV to help fix health care if someone was taking a real stab at it. Someone is. I'm now the National Communications Director for Health Care for America Now.
