What inspires me

I began a career as a newspaper reporter in 1999 because I felt like the public should have a voice in their success and their downfalls. I went to college and received an a/s degree in criminal justice to work as a victims advocate to give victims of violent crimes support and a voice, while the police did the job they are trained to do. However, the tide changed and I was hired as a newspaper reporter, which still allowed me to do the same, just a different way. I love what I do and the adventure it brings because day to day is different because you never know what the next story will be. I have always enjoyed writing even as a child and found that that was my gift. It inspires me to report the truth and to have the freedom to do so and not be bought by those who believe they are above the law or think they can change my story because of their position or wealth. I'm am a reporter that can be trusted because I keep my word and I'm respected for it. I am ready to move forward to write somewhere new and start a new adventure as a reporter in a new city or town. I love where I am but I want to start a new chapter in my life and make a difference somewhere else, wherever that may be.

Well done, for standing by your principles and refusing to be bought by people who only think of themselves and their stomachs,at the expense of the innocence and the poor. You are indeed, a gem.
