Thanks for a memorable decade
After more than 10 years working in this newsroom, and 15 years covering the local news and sports beat, today is my final day at rdnewsNOW. I don’t want to take up too much of your time, but I do want to share a few words on my way out.
Earlier this month I was announced as the new Director of Broadcasts and Media for the Red Deer Rebels. It’s an incredible opportunity I’ve been blessed with and I’m very much looking forward to it.
That being said, it’s still bittersweet for me to be leaving the newsroom life I’ve known for so long. I say it often, even if it is rather cliché, but it really is a case of “never a dull moment” and “no two days are the same” in the news biz (though sometimes it feels like it when you’re moderating Facebook comments lol).
I joined BIG 105 and 106.7 REWIND Radio (then The Drive) newsroom in 2011 and on July 4, 2016 we launched our website, rdnewsNOW. Since then we’ve grown to having over 300,000 unique visitors each month. It’s this that inspires us to work as hard as we can to bring you the best credible local news coverage. Thank you all so much.
