Before I became a Communications Specialist, I was a newspaper reporter. I covered everything from sports and education, to breaking news and city council meetings. I also worked for a specialty add-on magazine for the newspaper, which was at the special request from the editor.
My beginnings in the world of journalism started as an intern for a local paper and traveling overseas to Spain and Portugal for Alpine Living Magazine.
Since I became a Communications Specialist four years ago, I have been able to write promotional materials for our office outlining new projects, award commendations and breaking news articles regarding our efforts.
I have always had an affinity for writing, both creatively and from a journalist's perspective. Because of these capabilities, I find one of the most rewarding things I can do is help create a world from someone's story, because everyone has a story to tell.
