Washington County Notes: Manning Project Moves Forward
Construction on Manning Avenue will begin in 2014.

I am the Community Editor for sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin. I handle blogger recruitment, social media, community outreach and training for 13 sites in the Twin Cities area. I also contribute content to the sites.
I knew I wanted to become a journalist at an early age. Besides loving to write, I'm love learning new things every day and meeting interesting people. I'm passionate about quality, community journalism.
I attended Bethel University and received a bachelor of arts degree in journalism and media communication. I have written for several community newspapers, including the Star Tribune, Press Publications and the Stillwater Gazette.
When I'm not working I am immersed in a book, attending a concert or running. I am also in a local bluegrass band that plays across the midwest.
