About

Versatile and deadline-oriented copy editor/page designer. Design compelling pages for broadsheet platforms and tightly edit copy in a fast-paced environment. Experience in print and online mediums.I have a passion for NASCAR, and I enjoy writing about the sport. I have covered races and race-related events at Pocono Raceway for The Times-Tribune and The Citizens' Voice newspapers and the Skirts and Scuffs website. I also channel my enjoyment of movies by writing reviews and blogs for the Take 2 film blog on The Times-Tribune's website.
