Discover Top Reporters / Journalist in Jacksonville, Florida, USA

Hi, I'm Shannon Wolfgang, mom of two and a native of Orlando. I have seen our beautiful city grow in many ways and have been able to experience various trends and cultures while capturing moments. I share our adventures of art, travel, food, and fun in the images I take while promoting the Central Florida area and beyond. It is fun experiencing some old yet new adventures within my children's eyes. After graduating from the University of Florida with a degree in Magazine Journalism, I realized I had a passion for storytelling, and I love to talk. I landed back in O-town and started a 10+ year career in print and digital media designing for various national magazine publications. During those years, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work overseas on a fashion magazine in a foreign language. After working a decade at the magazine company in Winter Park, I went out on my own as a freelancer, which included contract work for national brands and various agencies around Orlando. One client turned full time for 3.5 years, but I went out on my own once again. This time was different, and we turned everything we knew into a business. I always wanted to help people, and this was a way I could artistically.

This, paired with my background in advertising and sales, is my winning combo. I specialize in conversion copywriting, content writing (using SEO best practices), design, photography, and illustration.

I'm a student at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, studying journalism and minoring in political science. I've reported on a wide range of issues, from seismic testing along the east coast to sexual assault among college students. I enjoy creating content that educates the public on lesser known issues that deserve more attention as well as writing stories/ producing videos that focus on subjects most people feel uncomfortable talking about. I've worked with the mayor of St. Augustine on various projects as well as reporters from CBS 12 in West Palm Beach, Florida, on a story about President Trump's "fake news" claims and their effects on what it's like to be a journalist during his presidency. I have also interned for Voice of America in Washington, D.C. for their documentary unit. We worked on a three-part series about the Parkland shooting that was published on VOA's website.
