Phone: 858-204-3151 Hometown: Monmouth County, NJ Birthday: June 1 Bio: Michelle Mowad is a veteran writer, editor and researcher. Michelle has written for numerous daily, weekly, magazine and online publications both on the East Coast and in San Diego County, including the San Diego Business Journal. She is a member of the San Diego Press Club Board and a member of the Society of Professional Journalists San Diego Chapter. She is also a supporter of numerous nonprofits including Life Rolls On, an organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for young individuals affected by spinal cord injuries. Armed with a degree in broadcasting, telecommunications and mass media from Temple University and AAS in radio and television from Northampton Community College, Michelle aims to incorporate video, audio and open communications to cover local news in La Jolla. In her free time, Michelle faithfully defends the Jersey Shore, listens to music, obsesses about NPR programming including A Way With Words (which is produced in San Diego), relaxes at the beach and offsets her excessive caffeine consumption with acupuncture and meditation. Your Beliefs At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible because human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal their beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable. This disclosure is not a license for you to inject your beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that your beliefs are on the record will cause you to be ever mindful to write, report and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you ever see evidence that we failed in this mission, please let us know. Politics: How would you describe your political beliefs? I am open-minded. I know what is right for me might not be right for you. I urge everyone to vote. It is part of our civic duty. If you don't have enough time to vote, I don't have enough time to listen to you whine about health care, war, gas prices, energy independence, taxes, abortion, immigration, same sex marriage, marijuana, abortion, stem cell research, global warming or Social Security. Are you registered with a certain party? Of course I am. I would not miss voting in the primaries. That is just ridiculous. Religion: How religious would you consider yourself? I am religious. I believe. I also can attest to the power of positivity and fresh air. We can always meet for a coffee to further discuss religion and spirituality.
