We’re proud to introduce a new reporter and photographer to the My Neighborhood News Network team: Jasmine Contreras-Lewis.

While she grew up in Mesa, Arizona, Contreras-Lewis has lived in Edmonds for five years. She graduated from Shoreline Community College, where she wrote for and managed the student newspaper, The Ebbtide.

Contreras-Lewis loves the arts and frequently paints. She enjoys gardening and “solving the little mysteries that pop up in everyday life.”
