As regional editor for Patch, I work with local editors and community members to provide news and information for areas across the city and suburbs of Chicago. I have lived in various parts of the Chicago area, including Lincoln Park, Geneva and Woodridge, for nearly two decades. Before joining Patch, I spent four and a half years working for Suburban Life, first as a reporter and eventually as assistant managing editor of news. In my free time, I love practicing yoga, traveling and playing with my pit bull, Lucy, the most loving dog I've met yet.
