SIRIUS|XM Radio
As Senior Director at SIRIUS|XM, I oversee and direct all programming-related content on both Sirius.com and XMRadio.com, including new page development and redesigns, audio/video, interactive applications and editorial copy. I edit and approve daily top-level pages including the homepage and What's On, our daily compilation of the best tune-in messaging and audio/video highlights from past events. In early 2009 I launched our official YouTube channel and have since built a fully functioning video department in NYC. A few screenshots of 2007-2008 work:
Homepage: Example that includes promotion of our exclusive Good Charlotte video blog, NFL games, Martha Stewart and political talk
Martha Stewart: A-list music and entertainment guests are shot in-studio as part of my video program, launched in early 2008
Pigskin Pick 'Em: The first SIRIUS.com fantasy sports game in September 2008 was built in concert with an outside vendor, resulting in the highest-ever page view total for a content area on the site

Yahoo!
As a "Yahoo! Search Expert" I called into local market radio shows to talk about the latest buzz on movies and pop culture each week. I also did about 10 interviews related to Hurricane Katrina searches. My first interview was with WCBS radio in New York:

WildWeb
At this late-90s start-up, I wrote two columns, She Said, She Said, with Jess Barron, and Tube Tops, our site's daily TV picks. I also was assigned a number of Web companion pieces to our WildWeb TV show (syndicated by CBS Eyemark) and a good volume of pop culture- and entertainment-related stories. A sampling:
She Said, She Said
She Said, She Said: Austin Powers, hip or has-been?
She Said, She Said: 'Friends' or 'Dawson' -- who would you rather hang with?
She Said, She Said: Should Felicity choose Ben or Noel -- or Buffy?Features

Microsoft
At Microsoft, I wrote a few good pieces for the online newsletter and the ill-fated WebTV Magazine. My favorite is my interview with Ted Casablanca, the deliciously nasty E! Online scribe. Yummy. These are from scans:
Here's Looking at You, Ted: I sit in awe of he of wicked pen and publicist
