Lumina News says farewell to staffer Emmy Errante

Must read

This week’s edition of the Lumina News marks the last for seasoned photographer and reporter Emmy Errante, who is leaving to pursue a master’s degree in creative advertising at Falmouth University School of Art in Falmouth, England.

Errante received her bachelor’s degree in graphic design at Meredith College in Raleigh. She was working as a graphic designer in Wilmington five years ago when she started with Lumina News as a freelance photographer. She accepted the role of the newspaper’s weekend photographer and also contributed photography to sister publication Wrightsville Beach Magazine.

Errante then progressed to reporting, starting with freelance assignments before taking a full-time job as a staff writer and photographer in August 2014. She covered a wide range of topics, from board of aldermen meetings to pressing environmental issues to local surf contests and beach events, always with camera in hand.

Errante was awarded first place in online breaking news from the North Carolina Press Association for her March 2015 coverage of a spectacular car crash following a police chase of bank robbery suspects.

The Lumina News and Wrightsville Beach Magazine staff wish her a fond farewell and many successes, which we have no doubt she will achieve.
