Beyond her obvious writing skill, football knowledge and ability to create good relationships and networking she is always CURIOUS.
Every year she seems to have one of these amazing in depth articles out and most of them seem be be based on "What do I not know and what would I want to know more about."
Since a lot of that goes for many fans as well (Especially knowledgeable and dedicated fans like people on this forum) those writings hit so well and improves her knowledge and ability to better cover the team.
Eventually she will be poached to somewhere else but this is another reason I hope she sticks around for as long as possible.
We have had other great writers covering us but I cant remember anyone that keeps improving every year like she does... or put as much effort in.
