Times-Journal where she worked as district manager in the newspaper’s circulation department from September 2009 to June 2011. More recently, Tice had worked as circulation manager of the Times-Journal’s sister newspaper, The Troy Messenger, in Troy.

“I truly enjoyed working in Troy, but I had the opportunity to return to my hometown newspaper and I also wanted to be closer to family and friends,” Tice, said. “I look forward to growing the circulation department and I also look forward to being involved in the community.”
