Kristin
Will
Associate
Editor
Kristin Will was hooked on journalism starting in
grade four when a class project requiring her to create a
newspaper sparked her interest in the industry. That interest
continued into high school, where Will was editor of South
Hadley High School’s newspaper, Spotlight, and English
classes were her favorite to attend.
Will attended Framingham State College from which she graduated
in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a concentration
in journalism. There, too, she joined the newspaper, The Gatepost,
writing and photographing. Will worked her way up the ranks
to become the paper’s Associate Editor in her senior
year. Following her graduation from college, Will dove into
the world of freelancing, where she was able to contribute
to eight of Turley Publications’ newspapers.
Now, as Associate Editor of both the Town Reminder and Holyoke
Sun, she is able to focus on South Hadley and Holyoke. When
not sleuthing on assignment, Will can be found behind the
lens of her camera or racking up miles on her bike. Drop by
the office to say hello or submit news to your local paper
run by a local lady.
