A Toy Story
Startups don't just innovate with payment systems and cloud storage. Some get to play while they work.

At heart, I am a problem solver, a project manager and executor. I listen to other’s exceptional ideas and then develop a strategic, detailed plan to successfully execute them.
I have experience on daily, weekly and monthly publications, so short-term — and long-term — deadlines do not faze me. I have a knack for quickly sizing up any project to outline all the steps needed to bring a vision and ideas to life.
I excel at editing, proofreading, storytelling (both nurturing writers to tell good stories, and writing and reporting my own), page design and designing editorial packages full of narrative, infographics, photography and illustrations.
• Experienced storyteller, editor, writer and news team manager.
• A quick study with strong organizational and people management skills.
• Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, juggling news assignments and experimenting with new ways to tell stories and solve problems.
• Comfortable in digital and print.
• Work closely with writers, photographers, editors and designers to tell stories in engaging ways.
I love seeking out unheard voices and helping them tell their stories.
I am a lifelong journalist, starting my junior high school’s first newspaper, and am a wife, mom and proud UNC Tar Heel. I am the proud daughter of Russell Peithman, who was the long-time director of the Charlotte Nature Museum and went on to create and found Discovery Place in Charlotte, N.C., and of Lois Peithman Wilson and Floyd Wilson, who created and founded Carolinas Aviation Museum, also in Charlotte. In my spare time, playing with color and fabric and designing quilts keeps me sane.
