About Me
My name is Nicole Reitz, and I am one of the managing editors for Sox On 35th. I am from Northwest Indiana, (a suburb of Chicago in my eyes), and thanks to my dad I have been a diehard Sox fan since I was born.
Earlier this year, I graduated from IUPUI with a degree in Journalism and a minor in Communications.
Outside of my full-time job and writing about softball, I love doing farm reports and game recaps for this wonderful site!
