I’m primarily an on-air TV, print, and radio reporter, but I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures. My mother Michelle is the real photographer in the family, and it’s because of her I never leave the house without a camera.

I was raised in New York City in Greenwich Village, 2 blocks away from my family’s nightclub – The Bottom Line, which became one of the City’s premier music venues.

At The Bottom Line, before shows, during shows, after shows, and even on dark nights, I was always Backstage.

When I moved to New Orleans to attend Tulane, I continued to get Backstage, interviewing musicians on tour, and writing about them for The Tulane Hullabaloo.

I quickly became editor of the Arcade (A&E) section of the Hullabaloo, a Jazz DJ on WTUL 91.5 FM, later a Jazz DJ on
WWOZ 90.7 FM, a VJ for TSTV, and began writing for local and national publications.

After graduation in 1993, with a BA in Art History,
I moved back to New York City and worked for Seventeen Magazine, The Village Voice, and “20/20” at ABC, before earning my Masters of Science in Journalism from Columbia University.

I made New Orleans my headquarters in 1995, while frequently relocating to different markets to pursue my on-air TV reporting career at:

A charter member of The Krewe of Orpheus for 12 years, thanks again to Harry Connick, Jr., and voted Most Eligible Bachelorette in New Orleans in 2001 by The March of Dimes, I also taught journalism as an adjunct instructor at Tulane.

Currently, at 33-years-old, I’m a New Orleans/ Southern stringer for many publications including Deep Magazine, the Dallas Morning News, Bloomberg and the New York Post, where for the last year I’ve been chronicling the bizarre murder trial and legal maneuverings of New York City real estate mogul Robert Durst. I also covered Britney Spears’ first marriage for the New York Post and the Fox News Channel.
