Suzanne Adams-Ockrassa’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I've been a reporter since 2003 and covered just about every beat from courts and cops to city hall and state government. Most recently I've become the digital editor for The White Mountain Independent in Show Low, Ariz. and the Payson Roundup in Payson, Ariz. where I manage the social media sites, create e-newsletters and keep the websites looking pretty for both papers.

I was a reporter at the Jefferson Gazette, a weekly in Ohio. I was reporter, photographer and copy editor.
