I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire with 2 bachelor's degrees, one in Print Journalism and the second in Spanish. I then interned in the online department for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and also spent a year as a copy editor for the Green BayPress Gazette. I am currently pursuing a Masters of Business Administration with an emphasis in Internet Marketing degree from the Florida Institute of Technology (don't worry, classes are all online, so I'll still be covering the news here!)
