During my tenure, Home Post was known to garner more than 100,000 page views per month, and was mentioned in the New York Times, BBC.com, Huffington Post, Fox News, and the Daily Mail. I’ve also contributed to MentalFloss.com, a history and trivia website that gets 8 million hits a month and was named one of the 50 best websites by Time magazine. And my radio features have aired nationally on the NPR programs “Morning Edition” and “All Things Considered.” I have had extensive experience appearing on live television.
