Summary
I have a passion for storytelling and the people who are at the heart and soul of them. With my rural roots in Camrose County, along with my previous work with the Camrose Canadian, Tofield Mercury, Lamont Leader, Redwater Review, Vegreville News Advertiser, and a handful of other community based newspapers throughout my career that has spanned more than 30 years I feel that I am an ideal candidate for the position.
I was previously involved volunteering with the Lamont Lions Club, Round Hill School Parent Council, Kingman Recreation Association, and the Verdun School Historical Society.
I feel I have many qualities, attributes, skills and experience that will add to your outstanding publication.
