I manage Cars.com’s daily news publishing and execution of Editorial strategy. As a lifelong enthusiast, I’ve worked in the automotive industry for over 20 years, attending Universal Technical Institute for my Automotive Technology Certificate before continuing education for technical writing and journalism, where I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Technical and Professional Communication with emphasis in Journalism and Automotive Technology. Since starting at Cars.com in 2006, I’ve reviewed hundreds of cars and tested new cars in almost every setting, from standardized fuel economy and cargo to dynamic testing such as drag-strip acceleration, towing, off-road and rock-crawling. I’m a juror on the World Car Awards panel of journalists from around the world that vote on their favorite car of the year, as well as a member of the Midwest Automotive Media Association.
