My first 90 days on the job

It's hard to believe that next week I will have completed my first three months at the Redwood Gazette. Time really does fly. (Especially in a fast-paced industry.) Thank you to all that have been patient with me as I am still learning the ropes to becoming editor. I am lucky to have such a great mentor like Editor Deb Moldaschel.
