Albuquerque Biz First ME returns to freelancing

Albuquerque Business First managing editor Tina Orem, who held the spot since March 2014, has returned to freelancing.

Among her freelancing assignments is as correspondent at large for the Credit Union Times.

In an email to Talking Biz News, Orem writes:

I’ve decided to return to full-time freelancing for trade and online publishers. I’ll also be working with academic authors for journal publication. It would not be accurate to suggest that I am leaving ACBJ solely for CU Times; I will be working with other clients as well.

Orem has also been a senior staff writer at InvestingAnswers.com, a senior editor at Outside Media Group and director of finance for restaurant chain Noodles & Co. She’s a graduate of the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business and holds an MBA and master’s degree in journalism, both from the University of Oregon.
