If you're into women's sports (or know someone who is), please check it out. Here's a sample:

My time at the Star has come to an end after 9+ years. It was a fun ride, I worked with great editors who supported women’s sports (especially wbb) that allowed us to build the coverage. I had great teammates. Shared stories of amazing athletes/coaches. And thanks to all my readers.

A year ago I fell at UConn during NCAAs & suffered a concussion. It’s been a long haul. While not fully recovered, I know I will get all the way back. I want to thank all the unsung heroes- my docs/therapists (concussion, OT, PT, vision, massage), my fam & Mom, who is the best!!
