About Me

My photo
Karen Workman
I'm lucky — I've known what I wanted to do with my life since I was a kid and I've managed to make it happen. Journalism rocks. I'm currently a breaking news producer for Thunderdome, Digital First Media's centralized news operation, and previously worked for The Oakland Press, a daily newspaper serving Oakland County, Mich. Born a Michigan girl, crazy about the Great Lakes. Loves dogs, snobby about music and PC-illiterate. Sucks at math. That's me in a nutshell.
