Biography
A longtime passion for writing became a reality in the early 2000s. I was inspired by working with the World Poker Tour, as I became interested in the players' stories and the scope of the industry. Part-time writing for the WPT became a sustainable job option during the poker boom, and I left the office to become a freelance writer in 2005. Through the years, I have written for various poker magazines and numerous websites - feature stories to opinion columns and everything in between. I worked the entire World Series of Poker for several years, traveled to numerous tournament stops for WPT and PokerStars for live reporting and interview pieces, and live-blogged online tournaments at all hours of the day and night. I've written evergreen pages for gambling websites and ghostwritten chapters of books for poker players. Nearly 20 years later, I have a great deal of industry experience and expertise. I write about the latest developments in poker, mostly regarding legal and political developments in gambling. As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I've also become an outspoken advocate for diversity in poker, specifically gender equality and equity. Currently, I am writing the umpteenth iteration of my first crime/mystery novel set in Italy.

The most highly anticipated occurrence was that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro finally instructed the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) to move forward with the signing of the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), which the PGCB then voted unanimously to do.
By Jennifer Newell| Legal US Poker@ It is finally happening. Pennsylvania is taking its first steps toward signing the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), which will allow its online poker operators to connect to their sister sites in other regulated gaming states. The years of declining online poker revenue have been painful for poker players and operators alike, as the state ignored pleas to begin the liquidity process.
