I’m a Texan living in Hong Kong thanks to a fellowship with the US State Department to teach journalism many years ago.

Now, I’m a senior lecturer in the journalism department at Hong Kong Baptist University, where I teach print, digital and international journalism. I’m Program Director of our undergraduate Journalism concentration and 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. I also have a master’s in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin.

I currently have a Sunday music show on RTHK Raido 3 called Feeling Kinda Sunday. 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 Mongolia Charity Rally 2013 here. I’ve worked 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  where I also write journalism movie reviews.

I’m currently working on a podcast about the wild early years of the British colony of Hong Kong, and through years of research, i have created a bubonic plague walking tour available by appointment.
