Professional Experience
Nov. 2004-present – education reporter
The Telegraph of Nashua (N.H.)
17 Executive Dr.
Hudson, NH 03301
- As education reporter for The Telegraph, a daily newspaper with a 27,000 circulation, my primary responsibility is covering news in the Nashua School District and at the local colleges. I also write about statewide education news, as well as trends and issues in the field.
- In addition to coming up with my own story ideas and writing five to seven articles a week, I write a weekly education column, “The Learning Curve,” featuring offbeat and unusual education stories that wouldn’t normally be considered for stories.
- As part of the newspaper’s focus toward the Internet, I have produced multimedia and audio packages to accompany news stories.
- In 2006, my investigation of city credit card records prompted a June 2006 report on the superintendent of Nashua schools’ use of public funds for several out of state trips. The superintendent was put on leave and was eventually bought out of her contract.
- In both 2006 and 2007, I won first place for education story or series in the New Hampshire Press Association Better Newspaper contest.

June 2003-Nov. 2004 – education reporter
Derry News
46 West Broadway
