Morgan Jarema is a copy editor and reporter. She is a Grand Rapids native and a proud graduate of Grand Rapids Public Schools, including Brookside and West Leonard elementary schools, City Middle/High School and Ottawa Hills. She found her tribe in journalism in 1997 and has never wanted to do anything but write. For 15 years she was a freelance journalist for The Grand Rapids Press, covering local schools and government, religion, business, home & garden and lifestyles. She and her husband, John, think even those without kiddos should be invested in their local schools and made to feel a part of them.
