The Cloquet Pine Journal’s newest reporter is a “lifelong learner” eager to soak up new experiences and share those with her readers.
Jess Waldbillig started working for the Pine Journal on June 5.
In 2019, Waldbillig graduated from Cloquet High School and attended Lake Superior College to obtain an Associate in Arts degree. She graduated in May with a Bachelor of Arts degree in writing and communicating arts from the University of Wisconsin-Superior.
Throughout college, Waldbillig worked with the University of Minnesota Extension 4-H to develop and deliver after-school programming, in addition to helping with the county ambassadors and the Horse Project for South St. Louis County.
She also worked as a writing consultant in the writing center on campus at UWS.
“One of my professors and the faculty adviser for The Promethean (newspaper) at UWS, Tom Hansen, recommended the position to me, so I decided to give it a shot. Being that I grew up in Cloquet and had a bit of experience in news writing, I thought this might be a good place to get started,” Waldbillig said.
She is most looking forward to learning more about reporting, gaining hands-on experience, and expanding her professional writing skills.
