Motorcycle crash in Upper Saucon Township claims another life

I’ve been a steadfast news enthusiast all my life but have transitioned to tackling news and enhancing stories for the better part of five years. Before editing I spent another life in North Carolina in education and sociology, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in applied social research and a master's degree in sociology. Areas of professional interest include but aren’t limited to local politics, cultural studies and pop culture. When I’m not on the evening shift, my passions include video games and the occasional trip to the museum. Don’t hesitate to reach out any time you think there are stories in the community that need to be told at GavinV@Lehighvalleynews.com or 610-984-8128.

I grew up in Bethlehem and attended the Art Institute of Philadelphia, Berklee College of Music and Northampton Community College. I enjoyed life as a busy freelance journalist, contributing to The Express-Times, The Morning Call, The Bethlehem Press and the Bethlehem Chronicle before taking time out to start a family. I joined LehighValleyNews.com after three years as a program manager in non-credit community education at NCC’s Fowler campus. In my spare time, I enjoy local restaurants and music, walking, baking and beach excursions with family and friends. Contact me at christines@lehighvalleynews.com or 610-984-8133.
