Nancy Yang, secretary

Nancy Yang is the breaking news reporter for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. She has been at the paper since September 2004. Prior to working in St. Paul, she worked at the Star Tribune and interned at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Desert Sun in Palm Springs, Calif., and Diversion magazine in New York City.

A lifelong Minnesotan, Yang said she hates snow and the state’s famous winters. She enjoys reading, eating pho and pad thai, watching movies, spewing useless pop culture factoids and shopping.

She serves as the AAJA Minnesota chapter secretary.
