I am an award-winning journalist with more than a dozen years experience writing/editing for a daily newspaper. I also have several years of experience as a freelancer, contributing articles on a variety of topics for print and digital publications.
In my current roles, I serve as a writer/editor for Michigan Lawyers Weekly, a bi-weekly legal trade publication that covers news in Michigan's legal community.
I also serve as a writer/editor for Red Oak Local, a marketing agency that manages several travel/tourism websites: Awesome Mitten, Rooted Wanderings, Smoky Mountain Wanderings, and VisitMaine.
From August 2010 to October 2023, I worked for The Alpena News, a six-day-a-week daily newspaper in Alpena Michigan. I served in several capacities in the newsroom, starting as a sports writer then serving as sports editor, and finally serving as assistant managing editor.
In those roles, I pitched, wrote, and edited stories, helped maintain reporter budgets, oversaw the layout of the paper, and handled various other newsroom tasks. I received multiple awards for my writing and assisted in the production of different newsroom projects which also won several awards.
