July 2007 — Present (2 years 5 months)
I am involved in the production of 19 special sections each year. My duties and level of involvement vary with different projects.
As editor of Live Well Wyoming, a women's lifestyle magazine which is published six times each year, I plan all art and content, report and edit stories, manage freelancers and direct photo shoots and illustrations. I post Live Well articles and photos the Casper Star-Tribune Web site using TownNews. I also plan, report, edit and design Discover Wyoming, a state-wide travel and recreation guide, a holiday guide and more. I design 11 additional special sections each year. I also copy edit the daily paper two nights each week.

2005 — 2007 (2 years )
I designed four to 14 news and feature pages each night. I often redesigned A1 several times a night to accomodate breaking news and killed stories or photos. I posted articles and photos online using Nando or TownNews.
I designed in CCI, a program made for producing telephone books. CCI isn't designer-friendly, but once I mastered it I could design simple pages very quickly and feature fronts without too much trouble.
