She attended as many colleges, beginning at Detroit College of Business, then Macomb Community college, then Wayne State University before finally earning a B.A. at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Not quite fitting in anywhere, she made up her own degree with an individual concentration in professional writing and photography.</p> <p>Her career has not been vast but it has been varied, from bus driving to business management, landscaping and house painting.</p> <p>She began freelancing at her first newspaper at age 19 in Romeo, Mich., and squeezed her foot back in the journalism door locally at the Collier Citizen. She's currently a correspondent for the Naples Daily News.</p>en-ushttp://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/13/bonita-beach-road-widening-six-lanes-dog-track-41/Over a barrel: Bonita Beach Road widening complete, lanes openedTue, 14 May 2013 00:27:00 -0000http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/13/bonita-beach-road-widening-six-lanes-dog-track-41/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/10/golden-night-six-collier-countys-best-teachers-hon/Golden night: Six of Collier County's best teachers honoredSat, 11 May 2013 02:18:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/10/golden-night-six-collier-countys-best-teachers-hon/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/06/collier-lee-meals-wheels-programs-need-drivers/Collier, Lee Meals on Wheels programs need volunteers, drivers for summerMon, 06 May 2013 10:00:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/06/collier-lee-meals-wheels-programs-need-drivers/http://www.marconews.com/news/2013/may/04/gov-scott-tells-college-students-an-important-to/Gov.
