You may not have met Rose Androwich yet, she's only been in Kenosha for about a year, but chances are good that you have already read her work as the Business Reporter for the Kenosha News! We connect with Rose and talk about her early days in Berwyn, Illinois, how she fell in love with journalism in high school and what brought her to Kenosha. Rose quickly fell in love with her new hometown and saw the community love for our local small businesses. When it comes to covering our local small businesses, Rose says, she has "great source material!" We look forward to seeing Rose's journalism career flourish here in Kenosha!
