About me: I am originally from the wonderful town of Fort Wayne, Indiana and now live in the California East Bay. With Midwest roots in my heart, I have a love for all the simple things in life: family, outdoors, good music and food! Wanting to share people's stories and be a voice for them, I began my journalism career in broadcast news after graduating from Ball State University with a degree in Journalism and a degree in Telecommunications. My love for writing goes back to as long as a I can remember. I strive to write stories that are meaningful and have an impact. (Human interest stories are my favorite!) When not at work, I love spending time with friends and family or doing anything involving nature. I'm a big animal lover and an overprotective cat mom. As a Local Editor for Patch, I cover stories in Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Santa Cruz and Watsonville. I would love to hear your stories and connect with you to learn how to best share what's going on in your community. Please feel free to send your thoughts my way at Sara.schaefer@patch.com
