A Green Bay native with a journalism degree and criminology and law studies minor from Marquette University, Lisa Sink comes to Patch.com after working for more than 15 years at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel / JSOnline.com and the Milwaukee Sentinel. She also has freelanced for other media, such as the Business Journal, Wisconsin Builder magazine and the American Planning Association.
Way back in those heady college days, Lisa says she naively thought she had life figured out. But then she got married, bought a house and had two children. And she learned that life is messy and learning is a lifelong adventure.
Learning about new people and ideas is what keeps Lisa in journalism during this uncertain time for the industry. Patch.com will offer her new editing and managerial challenges that she is sure to stumble upon. But then she'll get up and keep moving.
