Claim your profileAfter picking up the journalism bug at the University of Waterloo, I was admitted to the journalism school at what then was known as Ryerson. I started at the Sun while I still was at Ryerson, as a proofreader and agate pages editor. When I started, we put out only our own newspaper, with compositors pasting everything up. Now we do our own layout by computer (using Adobe InDesign), post to torontosun.com and other Postmedia websites, and transmit stories and completed pages to other Postmedia papers. I also occasionally act as night editor, overseeing the work of the entire sports desk. Outside of my main duties on the sports desk, I contribute to the travel pages and websites of the Toronto Sun/Postmedia (https://torontosun.com/author/dduench/).Specialties: Copy editing and statistics-related pages. Travel writing.Special skill: Honorary Duckmaster, The Peabody Memphis
