Signing off for now

For the last two years, I’ve had the joy and honor of reporting with Columbia Gorge News. I grew up in the Gorge, and this job has changed my perspective on this place. Being trusted to tell the community’s stories well has been a real privilege and has helped me understand that the heart of our community is in our closeness.

Some of my favorite stories have been the ones where I get to delve into our community’s history, resources, and accomplishments like the two 100 year anniversary stories I wrote this year about Maryhill Art Museum and the Crag Rats.

I am now returning to school to get my Master of Arts in Communication from University of Cincinnati on a full ride. I am thrilled for this opportunity and excited to explore new places, but I’ll carry the lessons I’ve learned here and the opportunities I’ve had with me.

Thank you.
