<description><![CDATA[I've held a variety of editorial and new media positions since joining AVIATION WEEK in 1988. Currently I'm responsible for operations and production for AviationWeek.com and the Aviation Week Intelligence Network.
I have strong business analysis, project management and editorial skill with extensive experience in both traditional print and new media. I began my career as a reporter, working at two daily newspapers.
In the early 1980s, I worked at two fledgling companies that were establishing teletext and videotex services. I returned to newspapers as an editor at The Times of Trenton, N.J., and then joined McGraw-Hill as a news editor at Aviation Week & Space Technology.
I held a variety of positions at Aviation Week, including new products editor and was the founding editor of AviationNow.com.
In 2001 I was named senior producer. I was the first journalist to interview the flight attendants who stopped shoe bomber Richard Reid from blowing up an American Airlines 767 over the Atlantic Ocean. I served on the teams that won a McGraw-Hill Corporate Achievement Award for development of the Aviation Week Intelligence Network in 2002 and American Business Media's Neal Award for Best Web Site in 2006.
I also won an award for column writing from the New Jersey chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists.]]></description>
