Digital news content producerI 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.
