Storyteller, Journalist, Communications Professional
The best perk of my job: meeting great people – most people I interview are nice and welcoming – and more importantly, dogs. Cute dogs too!
A couple weeks ago, I covered March for Babies and Walk MS, both at Forest Park in Springfield.
Here’s what I saw there:
How can you not love this job??? 🙂
When I drove up Chicopee St to the “Welcome Home” ceremony for Sgt. Joshua Bouchard, I couldn’t find a parking spot. Literally hundreds of Granby residents were already there waiting for Josh’s arrival. I was simply in awe that so many people, friends of Josh or not, showed up to support him.
I’d say this was definitely one of the most heartwarming stories I’ve covered so far in western Massachusetts.
Watch my story here.
How can you resist this view? Even though I now live in western Massachusetts, I frequent Boston. You know, just pretending like I still live there. There’s something about that city that makes you fall in love with every good and bad thing.
For example, the T. Now it costs $2 for a ride? Ouch. Six years ago all outbound rides were free. However when I got on that squeaky trolley, I did breathe a sigh of relief and said “Ahhh public transportation.”
Funny to think five years ago I moved to Boston thinking it’ll be my temporary home while I’m in college. Now I can’t even imagine leaving New England!
Took this photo yesterday (Tuesday June 19) at Forest Park in Springfield.
I was working on a story on how to stay cool during extreme heat and humidity. This certainly made me realize how beautiful western Massachusetts can be! Often WMass gets a bad name for being boring or dangerous – especially Springfield – but to get this gorgeous park in the middle of a city? That’s pretty awesome.
