Christina Rohn
Age: 25
Number of years reporting: Six years. Started at the News-Review in September of 2007.
Education: Bachelor of arts from Central Michigan University. Major in journalism, minor in broadcasting and cinematic arts.
Beat: Feature/enterprise for Petoskey. I cover Petoskey schools, North Central Michigan College, Native American news, the arts, entertainment, youth and localize Associated Press articles. I'm also one of the investigative reporters in the newsroom.
Journalism awards: I don't have any yet, but I plan to in the near future.
Professional, civic organizations you are a member of: I'm a volunteer for the Women's Resource Center of Northern Michigan.
Interests: I enjoy running. I recently got into running marathons about a year-and-a-half ago. My goal is to qualify for and run in the Boston Marathon. I like doing anything that has to do with the outdoors, I think that's why I live in Northern Michigan. Anything I can do that challenges me mentally and physically is all right with me.
Why do you love your job? Because it's different everyday, and I get a chance to meet people who I may never have know otherwise. This job is all about the human experience, and I'm fascinated by it. I am honored and humbled to be able to tell other people's stories.
What makes Northern Michigan a great place to live? Its beauty — it surrounds us and surprises me everyday. Also, I like the fact that the atmosphere is so laid back.
