As 2022 approaches, I’d like to share some professional news. After leaving the newspaper biz in October, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining the media relations team at @Unitil next week. I’m looking forward to this new opportunity and the next phase of my career. 💡 ⚡️
To ensure our reporters have the resources they need to do their jobs well, now through Dec. 31 we are launching a campaign to raise $15,000 to help fund our reporting projects in the new year. Consider a donation to keep local journalism strong! collaborativenh.org/support-the-gs…
As many of you know, I recently left the @UnionLeader to pursue new opportunities and ended my 27-year career as a community journalist. I just ran into someone at a store who congratulated me and then said, “Thank you for your service.” Never expected that.
One of the best I’ve seen and worked with. #nhloss
PERSONAL NEWS: After an 18-year run, the time has come for me to bid farewell to the New Hampshire Union Leader as I pursue new opportunities. I’m grateful for the years I’ve had to share so many stories from our great state. I hope they offered a little slice of life here.
New opportunities await, but I will always be a community journalist at heart. Thanks again for reading. -30-
I want to thank you for following along on this incredible journey that has been filled with so many different emotions. I began my newspaper career 26 years ago, and while it has certainly had its challenges, it has been the most rewarding job in the world.
