I fell in love with writing, editing and design early on while working on my high school newspaper, and I’ve been fortunate to make a career in the communications and media fields for 20-plus years. Now an independent freelancer, I’m excited to use my skills to help groups and businesses meet their goals and succeed. — Shanna Novak
