My name is Briana Contreras and I'm an experienced reporter, editor and photographer in the Greater Cleveland area.

 

I'm seeking new opportunities in the journalism and promotional communications field.

​

Since October 2019, I have been employed through life sciences publication company, MJH Life Sciences. I'm associate editor for the company's international, monthly print and online magazine Managed Healthcare Executive (MHE). At MHE I operate our website and edit our print publication. Additionally, I create daily content such as articles, podcasts, and broadcast videos then share them through newsletters and social media.

​

In the past, I've worked as a reporter at a well-established print and online newspaper in my hometown of Lorain, OH called The Morning Journal. From October 2017 - June 2019, I grew as a staff writer and photographer within the daily paper and connected with my team and many sources in and outside the coverage area of Lorain and Erie counties. 

​

Prior to The Journal, I held the position of Managing Editor and reporter for Cleveland State University's school newspaper, The Cleveland Stater. I was also Opinion Editor for student-ran newspaper, The Cauldron. In addition to writing for the school as a full-time student, I was working part -time outside of school, volunteering as a broadcast reporter for a local non-profit publication and writing for my internship - a Cleveland Cavaliers sports blog-site - Cavs: The Blog.

​

Reporting news and telling stories about my passions for art, culture and community, while learning new information and creating relationships, is something I strive to achieve in my career.

​

I aspire to continue telling stories to readers in hopes to inform, make change and inspire.
