Bethlehem Area reporterI cover the city of Bethlehem and its surrounding area for LehighValleyNews.com. I worked previously as a staff writer turned managing editor at The Houston Home Journal in Perry, Georgia. Before that, I worked as a co-host for the Morning Show on 94.7 WTBF-FM out of Troy, Alabama. During my time in the multimedia journalism program at Troy University, I contributed to the student-run publication, The Tropolitan, and had my undergraduate capstone project printed on the front page of The Montgomery Advertiser. I enjoy drumming, disc golf, going to concerts and trying to cook. My dog, Bella, and I would love to meet you. Give me a call at 610-984-8220 or shoot me an email at willo@lehighvalleynews.com.
