I’m a Texan living in Hong Kong thanks to a fellowship with the US State Department to teach journalism many years ago. I requested Africa, but it couldn’t have worked out better.

Now, I’m a senior lecturer in the journalism department at Hong Kong Baptist University, where I teach print and digital journalism. I’m also Program Director of our undergraduate International Journalism concentration and Associate Director of our MA in International Journalism Studies program. I am faculty advisor to our student-run newspaper, The Young Reporter, the oldest existing student newspaper in Hong Kong, and I’ve been lucky enough to get to take my students all over the world. You can see some of my students’ reporting work here from  Rwanda and North Korea. 

Before ending up in Hong Kong, I did stints in Seoul and Bangkok as an English teacher, a sub-editor and a journalist, between which I wandered around, mostly in Asia. Somewhere along the way, I ended up with a master’s in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin.

I’ve published a number of articles in various newspapers and magazines, some of which you can see here. I also take photos, which you can see here. And you can read my travel blog from the 2013 Mongolia Charity Rally 2013 here. I’ve recently been working on two women’s history projects: Real Gone Gals is an RTHK radio show about women in jazz and The Show Me Project highlights the stories of women misrepresented, maligned and marginalized in the records of history. I am also the English Editor of the Asia Pacific Journalism Review.
