I've worked as a reporter/editor for a weekly award-winning newspaper, with an emphasis on promoting transparency in government entities such as education and municipal councils. My experience also includes writing features and varied editorials. I've regularly covered breaking news stories, crime, emergency scenes, weather, sports, business, education, health care, pets and community/special interest groups. I also enjoy utilizing social media including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. I am an administrator for two Facebook groups I lead including "Beautiful Mess," an Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder support and education page as well as "Save the Clintonville Pool," an organization designed to bring awareness to saving my hometown municipal swimming pool. I also have contributed to national log home and design magazines and industry blogs.
Please enjoy a brief look into my portfolio of news stories and photographs, primarily featured in the Clintonville Chronicle, a weekly news publication that I worked for as a reporter/editor from 2011 to 2015. I do have many more, including a large handful in Google.pdf format for easy reading. Email me for more sample stories that went to print at [email protected]
I photographed, edited and posted this entire collection of photos taken at area emergency scenes in late June 2015 in Clintonville Wisconsin while working as a local news reporter.
"Save the Clintonville Pool," is a community grassroots campaign and support/awareness social media page promoting saving the Clintonville Municipal Outdoor Pool. I am the founder and administrator of this organization.

Country Chic is a website with blog that I designed for free on Weebly. It showcases some of my lifestyle, design ideas, recipes, and a series of my own local photographs taken around Northeast Wisconsin and Waupaca County, Wis.
This is a story I was asked to write under the pseudonym, Remy Dolan, because the subject matter was actually a home in Green Bay, Wis. that I did the interior design work for while working as a resident interior designer for Wisconsin Log Homes.....and I had to quote myself in an interview.
This was an e-newsletter/web content post that I wrote while working as an interior designer at Wisconsin Log Homes. It is one of many, in a similar format.
Often, the marketing director at Wisconsin Log Homes would promote our services by having me submit various information pieces relevant to both those interested in the rustic lifestyle as well as other style genres to maximize our reach. This particular piece I put together was centered on color theory.
While working as the resident interior designer for Wisconsin Log Homes, I collaborated with LogHome.com Neighborhood Blog, which was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed engaging with other people on the site.
This was a written interview I gave a writer for Log Home Design magazine, that was published in October, 2008. I married in 2010, so this story shows my previous last name.
Here I am, showcasing a written interview I submitted to this national magazine the previous year.
This is a story written by another journalist about a home I did the interior design for. The photos show my design work and I am interviewed and quoted inside the story, on page four of the PDF (or page 45 of the magazine itself)
Although I did not write this piece, I was interviewed as an interior design expert and it is noted in this article that was published in Cabin Life Magazine, and online at www.cabinlife.com.
Again, this is a home that I did all the interior design work on, high on a mountain-top in West Virginia. I was not the author of this piece, but I am quoted in it, and the photographs show some of the spaces I helped to shape in this exceptional rustic home.
