As deputy editor of a technology and business publication, I have been immersed in the technology and innovation sector around the globe for five years.

Since July 2021, I have served as deputy editor at IAM, where I cover US patent policy and business deals, manage a junior reporter covering US patent litigation, edit insight and analysis articles by contributing experts, produce data journalism and write long-form features about technology, business and intellectual property. At IAM, I participate in live events by helping to craft agendas, recruit speakers, attend events to network and write articles, and make presentations. I enjoy public speaking.

I often interview chief intellectual property officers at global corporations like Qualcomm, Meta Platforms and IBM. I converse easily with business executives who drive the global agenda in telecommunications, semiconductors, networking, multimedia, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and other sectors.

As a journalist for 20 years – 15 of them writing for high-octane business professionals – I have a clear view of what makes big news for executives. Before joining IAM, I worked as the Texas litigation reporter for ALM Media, where I covered the legal industry for an audience of lawyers and law firm leaders. I write quickly and clearly, meeting deadlines with clean copy requiring little editing. I have lived and breathed tech and innovation for the past five years. I am overflowing with ideas drawn from sourcing and sharp observation of the technology sector.

I hold two bachelor’s degrees in multimedia journalism and government from The University of Texas at Austin. I have worked remotely for 15 years in the Austin, Texas, metro area and am comfortable with business travel when needed.
