Rachel Schnieder

I graduated from SIUE in Aug. of 07 with a BS in Mass Communications emphasis in advertising and a minor in art & design. After graduating I went on to work for the Centralia Sentinel and the Belleville News Democrat.

While working at the Centralia Sentinel I gained experience in just about every aspect of the newspaper business. After 2 years with the Sentinel I was offered a job with the Belleville News Democrat. I worked as a graphic designer, due to cut backs I was laid off as of Jan. 10.
