Seraine Page has joined the staff of the Bainbridge Island Review as the paper’s newest reporter.
Her most recent experience includes freelance writing and working on a romantic drama novel. Previously, she worked for the Review’s sister newspapers, the Central Kitsap Reporter and Bremerton Patriot.
“We are very fortunate to have someone of Seraine’s caliber join our team,” said Brian Kelly, editor of the Review. “She’s a very skilled writer with a real knack for finding and telling great stories.”
Page will write features for the Review, along with covering the education and parks beats.
Page moved to the Northwest nearly three years ago after her husband, Tyler Berube, finished training at the Naval Weapons Station in Goose Creek, South Carolina as a machinist mate. He serves aboard the USS John C. Stennis, an aircraft carrier homeported in Bremerton.
After graduating from the University of Florida, Page moved to Hinesville, Georgia, to pursue an education and county reporting position with the Coastal Courier newspaper. While at the Courier, she covered everything from county commission and city council meetings to festivals and memorials.
Her favorite reporting moment was meeting former Florida Gators football star Tim Tebow while covering a sports assignment with a graduate of her rival school. Her second favorite includes donning a bee suit and following a beekeeper around his property.
Page’s work has been featured in several publications, including the Bryan County News, Liberty Life magazine, St. Petersburg Times, The Gainesville Sun, Self Healing and others. She said she thoroughly enjoys uncovering the stories of people who otherwise wouldn’t find themselves in the limelight.
In her free time, Page loves traveling with her husband throughout the Northwest. Some of her favorite past traveling experiences include holding a koala bear in Australia, rafting and camping in the Grand Canyon, and drinking mai tais on a white sandy beach in Belize.
Former Review staffer Cecilia Garza has left the Review and after a move to Seattle to pursue freelance opportunities.
