Some personal news:

I was part of company layoffs yesterday and am no longer the sports reporter for The Newberg Graphic, Molalla Pioneer, Canby Herald and Woodburn Independent. I don’t usually post on this page, but am trying to share this update anywhere where my former audience might see it.

It was an absolute pleasure to cover the young athletes of these communities. It was the best first job out of college I could’ve asked for.

I don’t believe my former employer will be replacing/rehiring my position, so I’m not entirely sure what the outlook for sports coverage in those areas will be. I wish I had better news to share.

Thank you so much if you ever read or shared my work. It means more than I could possibly put into words. I’ll always remember my time covering high sports in the Mid-Willamette Valley fondly.
