Britney's Bio
Originally from Rochester, N.Y., I moved to Phoenix in the summer of 2005 to attend Arizona State University, where I was a student-athlete on the women's soccer team. As a 2009 graduate of ASU with a dual degree in journalism from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and English-Literature, several doors were opened for me to work and intern at several media industries, which include Bleacher Report, Inc. in the editing and marketing departments, and worked for ESPN in Phoenix.
I have experience at many media outlets in Rochester, including WROC-TV 8, WHAM 13 and contribute articles for nextSTeP Magazine. Other internships included writing and editing articles for College Affair Magazine in Scottsdale, Ariz. and worked in the public relations department to promote the magazine around the Valley Area.
As an ASU student, I was a reporter at the NFL’s New England Patriots’ press conference for Super Bowl XLII. During a ride along with Tempe Police, I was a part of the action and reported in breaking news case, while having the chance to interview prisoners in the Maricopa County Jail.
I enjoy everything about hockey, country music, travelling, being outdoors and living on Lake Ontario!

Britney,
Thanks for taking the time to edit my article
I am concerned about the font however, as it seems to drop in size halfway through the article
And then on the second page there is a portion of html code that is visible

Thank you for your edit. I know I make a lot of sentencing and syntax errors. English is my second language and even if I know my english fairly well, I still make the dumbest of mistakes. :)
Thank you again.

Thanks for becoming one of my fans, Britney. I don't know which articles of mine you've read that you like, but most of mine are about expansion in the CFL, NHL, and NFL and the state of hockey in general. Actually there are a lot of articles you could write about being a hockey fan in Phoenix coming from Rochester. The Phoenix franchise is in the worst shape of all NHL teams and is the only one Gary Bettman has been publicly forced to admit is in trouble. Unless new investors appear, the franchise could be contracted or relocated. If it ever was put up for sale, there is a good chance that Jim Balsillie would try to buy it and move it up here to southern Ontario.
I read some of your articles, particularly the ones about Rochester, Buffalo, and Toronto. I've only visited Rochester once, over twenty years ago, going to Club 747. One article, you could write about which I would be interested in is why Rochester, except for lacrosse is content to be minor league. Whenever there is talk about professional sports expansion/relocation, Rochester is never mentioned. Yet the greater Rochester area has over one million people and next door is the Syracuse area which has 700,000. With ten money-losing NHL franchises around, there is never a better chance for Rochester to get a franchise, perhaps even Phoenix itself. But the relocation cities mentioned are usually Kansas City, Houston, Las Vegas, Hamilton, Hartford, and Quebec. Same with the Bills. Why doesn't Rochester consider going after them or try to get regular season games played there like Toronto has? It seems to me that Rochester has the potential to join the big leagues in many sports but nothing is heard on that front. What ambitions do the sports fans in Rochester have?

Hey Britney,
I made corrects that I felt were needed, and ones that you mentioned having problems with. These include the spacing, chart, etc. Feel free to make any changes that you feel are needed.

Thanks B.
For some reason, I am having trouble downloading pics for my articles.
With so many editors having opinions about style, it's nice to hear I don't lack substance.
I appreciate your time. A buddy of mine has tix to the frozen four.
Go Miami (OH). I know more about pro hockey, but i am for the underdog.
