Portfolio  - Freelance work - Sun Focus

Heather's work as an intern with the weekly newspaper, the Sun Focus, in the north metro of the Twin Cities was one of her first journalistic experiences outside of the college paper. She wrote sports stories covering everything from athlete profiles to the 3M Championship, Schwan's USA Cup soccer tournament and community 5K runs. The two summers of work with the Sun Focus provided some valuable knowledge of what it's like to be a community reporter. Here are a few samples of Heather's work:
