Sarah Spohn is a Lansing native, but every day finds a new interesting person, place, or thing in towns all over Michigan, leaving her truly smitten with the mitten. She received her degrees in journalism and professional communications and provides coverage for various publications locally, regionally, and nationally -- writing stories on small businesses, arts and culture, dining, community, and anything Michigan-made. You can find her in a record shop, at a local concert, or eating one too many desserts at a bakery. If by chance, she’s not at any of those places, you can contact her at: sarahspohn.news@gmail.com
