I have worked for The Greene County Daily World for 28 years and with Rust Communications since they purchased the paper in 2003. Through the years I have worked in several different areas, bookkeeper, circulation manager, and now advertising director. I appreciate all of the opportunities that I have been given by Rust Communications. By working here, I am able to raise my family, work and live in a small community.

I started working for Rust Communications as a receptionist and within a month was moved to the marketing consultant position. I have worked as a marketing consultant with Rust for almost 10 years in Linton. Rust Communications allows me the opportunity to work within minutes of my home and be involved in my community. I appreciate all the opportunities that Rust Communications has given me.

Starting out in the 1980s as a proofreader of a paper now part of the Greene County Daily World, in the early 1990s I acquired my hometown weekly newspaper and wore all hats for years until economic reality forced changes. In 2007, I started freelancing for the GCDW, was quickly put on as full-time reporter, and then named editor in 2014. I’m appreciative of being recognized for my experience and skills, and the opportunity to make a difference in my community.

I started working at the Greene County Daily World in May of 2008. I'm a pressman and general maintenance employee. I enjoy what I do here because of the varied projects I work on everyday and the people I get to work with. We have an awesome group of people who are not only co-workers but also friends.
