Digital news content producerI'm a Lehigh Valley native whose passion for journalism traces back to my high school newspaper. I previously reported for The Republican Herald in Pottsville and freelanced for SpotlightPA and WPSU through Penn State University's startup, The News Lab. Outside of the office, I'm usually doting on my dog or tasting what the Valley's food landscape has to offer. Contact me at makenziec@lehighvalleynews.com or 610-984-8138.
