A Hays native has taken the reins of a Wyoming newspaper.
Brandy Robben started as the new editor at the Uinta County Herald on Oct. 13 and is busy learning the ropes of the newspaper production world.
Robben was born in Hays, moving with her family to the Denver suburbs when she was 8. She recently moved from Colorado from Wyoming after educational and employment stints in Kansas, Colorado and Nevada.
She comes to the newspaper world with a master's degree in library science, and has served in a variety of roles in that profession.
“I am excited about the challenge and am looking forward to the change of direction in my career,” Robben said. “My first two jobs here were editing pages, and I found it fun and natural for me. Also, I am going to love getting to know the team here at the Herald.”
