Bio
Maddy Perkins
Paola is an enthusiastic and dogged reporter who is an absolute pleasure to work with. No task is too large (or small) and she juggles multiple projects with poise. During the editing process, she is both susceptible to constructive criticism and willing to collaborate — whether it takes extra time to land on an engaging headline or additional calls need to be made. She is a quick study and takes care in all aspects of preparing an article for online publication, from reporting and writing to finding a complementary chart, optimizing for SEO and writing social media posts. Paola would be an asset to any digital newsroom.
