Laura M. Pavin

Chicago, 

Illinois 

United States

As a freelance news writer and social media specialist in the greater Chicago area, I have a strong handle on the English language. My writing and occasional photography is published weekly under Chicago Sun-Times/Pioneer Press publications including the Lake Zurich Courier, Barrington Courier Review and Vernon Hills Review. I’ve also had content featured in local blog 365Barrington.com and north shore magazine and online publication Makeitbetter.com. In addition to my journalistic duties, I manage social media sites for top companies that include Repio and spree.com.

Pioneer Press
lincolnwood.suntimes.com/lifestyles/trend/12375472...
I compile the police blotter each week for Pioneer Local’s Lake Zurich Courier, and I cover breaking news, campaigns, events, municipal meetings, entrepreneurial activities and innovative happenings in the area for Pioneer Press’s many other publications. On top of my feature and news writing for the publication, I also cover and take photos at local fundraisers for its culturally-connected Trend section. This is a story I photographed and wrote for Trend, about the Alexian Brothers Foundation’s Up, Up and Away 26th Annual Ball De Fleur May 5 at Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom.
