I'm a soon-to-be retired schoolteacher who has been moonlighting in journalism since 1999. With my impending retirement, I'm ready to jump into the field full-time. Specialty areas include sports, education, consumer issues and cartooning. I have experience with photography, layout, social media and some video editing. I am a multiple award winner, including a first-place APME for best sports columns (LA-MS region), back-to-back first-place LPA best editorial cartoon awards, and a Union Values in Action award from Louisiana Federation of Teachers (for blogs about education). Besides the newspapers and magazines I’ve scribed for, I also write books for both children and adults. My last sports-themed book for mainstream audiences, Sharpened Iron, has created speaking engagements and booksignings in LA, MS, and TX. Currently, I am working on a book that chronicles the current state of educational reform here in Louisiana. While I would love to work for a larger paper, I definitely appreciate and enjoy the charms a smaller community paper brings. All offers considered, and I will relocate for the right opportunity.
