North Potomac Teen Wins Speed Skating Championship
Gabriella Hachem, 14, competed in Omaha, NE over the weekend

I've podcasted, broadcasted, live-blogged and tweeted my way to Patch, but in the more traditional sense, you could say my background is in newspapers, particularly features and lifestyle reporting. I earned a print journalism degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, was a Chips Quinn Scholar (summer 2003) and, more recently, was named a 2009 Maynard Institute Multimedia Editing Program fellow. If the topic exists, I've probably written about it. I look forward to telling your stories here at Patch. Email news tips to tiffany.arnold@patch.com.
