This is roll-up-your-sleeves work.I believe in seeking truth, the power and impact of listening, fact-checking, storytelling, building literacy and partnerships, particularly at the local news level. I cut my teeth as a small-town obituary writer and news release editor turned full-time reporter in Western Massachusetts and now enjoy the challenges and joys of covering education and collaborating with community members on news projects in Seattle. I've worked in the print and online news industry, reporting, editing, developing reader-centered initiatives and building community relationships for nearly 20 years.
