Hello Good Day readers!
My name is Tierra Hayes, and starting next week, I’ll be officially taking over Good Day, Chattanooga!
While I have freelanced for the Times Free Press for the past few years, I’ve been a full-time web producer/reporter for exactly six months this week. I’m a native of Athens, Georgia (Go Bulldogs!), but after attending Southern Adventist University in Collegedale, I decided sticking around wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. Very little can compare to the scenery, the food and the people here in Chattanooga.
My job, and that of my colleagues, isn’t just to write about the Chattanooga community – we are a part of it. We are your neighbors and are personally invested in its wellbeing. This newsletter is meant to highlight the best of the best that the area has to offer.
