My name is Nick. I love writing, playing music and the great outdoors. Most weekdays you can find me clutching a reporter's notepad, hunched over my laptop in a school board meeting or tapping out a story at my desk, which sits on the third floor of the Embarcadero Publishing building in Palo Alto, Calif. I am a staff writer for the Mountain View Voice, where I cover education, health and crime. I also write features, obits, miscellaneous news and A&E. Prior to my current reporting gig, I was an intern at Wired Magazine, a freelancer for The Good Times Weekly and The Palo Alto Weekly and one hell of a barista at a little company called Starbucks. I still pick up freelance assignments at The Good Times and Wired from time to time. I studied journalism at San Jose State University, where I earned a bachelors degree with an emphasis in reporting and editing and a minor in humanities. I graduated cum laude and dean’s scholar. I have a keen interest in literature, art, technology, social issues and philosophy. I look forward to meeting you some day. Best, Nick Veronin |
