Hi There! It’s nice to meet you.

I’ve been a graphic designer since 2003, working for SEPCO, and Gloria’s Goodies in the past. Presently I work for Sumter County Record Journal (www.recordjournal.net,) and Moundville Times (www.moundvilletimes.net). I transitioned to Sports Editor at SCRJ in 2007 and became the Community News Editor in 2012. In 2013 I started a second full time job as Community News Editor at Moundville Times when it became the sister newspaper to Sumter County Record Journal.

What I do:

I do page layout (sports, community news, columnists, church, specialty pages, and specialty editions ex: medical, back to school, graduation, forestry, Santa letters), ad design, web page design and upkeep, photo editing, photography, copywriting, reporting, billing, typesetting, editing all incoming story information, office management, updating social media sites (ex. Facebook, website). Basically if a problem comes up at the papers, I solve it. This much more than a typical editor does, but in small businesses you must do whatever is needed.
